Their Worth

THEIR WORTH 
if they teach us of hate 
they worth not to teach 

if they lie to us 
they worth not to speak 

if they profit off us 
they worth no trust 

if they miseducate us 
they worth not to punish us

if they created money 
they worth no investment 

if our freedom worth a fight 
they worth nothing 

if they leads us astray 
they worth not a life 

so their worth is only but 
temporary

Indeed, in the end, all things are passing and of little worth.
