Some Men
SOME MEN
Some men were born to follow,
Some men were born to lead.
And some men take their pleasure
From the people that they bleed.
But this man was born to wonder
About all there is to see,
I lust not for power
For love will set you free.
Life is energy,
Time the conveyor.
Man is an animal,
Divine the purveyor.
Some men look for glory
In the wars that they breed.
Some men want a pound o’ flesh
From everyone they meet.
Some men will horde money
To fill an emotional need.
Some men choose words of steel;
A lesson never heeded.
Energy is life.
Truth is pure.
Man’s life will end
But the spirit endures.
