This World Is Mine

This world is mine 
With all its dangers and its crimes
With all its dusks and its dawns
With all its troubles and its struggles
  
With all its smiles and its frowns 
With all its beauty and its pride
With all its hopes and its broken dreams
  
With all its rises and its declines
With all its fails and its prevails 
  
This world is mine
With all its truths and its lies 
With all its bitter and its sweet 
  
With all its fears and its scares 
With all its permanence and its instability

With all its fires and its rain 
With all its twists and its turns
With all its pardons and its revenge
With all its pleasures and its treasures
With all its hues, frames, and its scopes
With all its gifts and its prizes
  
This world is mine 
With all its manifests and its mysteries
With all its shadows and its mirrors
With all its innocence and its condemnations
With all its inclinations and its ramifications
  
This world is mine 
 ‘Til my last breath
 I will shine

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, may I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
