The Sum

Worth, as the world sees it Calculated by what you have, Not by who you are Just another fly in the jar. Value, Is it determined of your accumulation of things Or your use to others Your existance brings. Asset, How others benefit from your gain Will they reap the rewards After your death they attain Remembrance, Dying alone, Your life a living memory Or just another faceless name Etched in stone.
