The Seen and the Not
It is what you do that is measured,
not what you think.
It is the accident caused
by the effect of the alcohol
not the way that you drink.
It is not your motivation that is visible,
but how it moved you
that can be seen.
So much wisdom to glean
from this, if you do more than read,
but it is how you think,
and how you change,
that gives wisdom breath.
So, here, as we march in single line
to death,
yes, all of us!
We have to ask, we have to think;
is what we leave gold
or does it merely stink?
