The Need To Leave Something Behind

I cannot say how good that you lived your life We're you shown mercy from some place that you've seen Other's that know some how seem to you kind Trying to stay in this world some are blind Every word other's write left since unwritten Mammon is free for the price of a life And your soul is the price if you try to stay The money that you leave them is spent in a day Judging another in our own foreign land And what you have given other's take back Who are your friends a circle not round Speaking in tongues beneath the full moon My pain is much deeper as deep as can pain If I'm to be judged by what I left behind Honeys not free when you feel the bee sting And love can be bought we never were tought Why I need money to get through your door Like leaves, wind and wisdom, feeding the poor The need to leave something behind when I'm done
