Robert Zimmerman Poet Verse

Value of A Soul

Buy a soul.
Sell a soul. 
What’s the cost? 
What’s the toll?

Talk is cheap.
Noise is free.
Check the price.
What’s the fee?

Minds are void.
Dreams are crushed. 	
Cultures fail.
Joy is hushed. 		

Can we live
as we will?
Is life more
than a thrill?

Is this all? 
Is there more?
When life ends,
death’s a door.

Live your life.
Count the cost.
Are you found?
Are you lost?
