What I Know

What is it you want from 
me,
what is
your expectation?
Deep within me, I have 
desires
and
a destination.
What is it you feel about 
me, what
is
your imagination?
They are not going to 
instruct my
interest
and intentions.
What is on your mind: 
money,
mansion
or a mission?
What I posses can't fill a 
purse,it
is a
pleasant passion.
What do your fight for 
fortune,
fame
or fashion?
What is inscribed in me is 
an
immortal inscription.
What do you dream of,
damnation
or distinction?
What I see is a sweet sight 
of
soothing sensation.
What do you hear of 
hostility,
hope
or hallicination?
I hear that super sounds of
the spirit's salutation.

Wonderful Ade The only thing I think might make it even better is to slightly change the page layout. [expectation/imagination/ intention/] [mission/ passion/fashion/ inscription][damnation/ distinction/ sensation / hallucination/salutation] I agree these words are the 'punches' so they should stand alone..but then put a line break..and perhaps let each line be longer? Cramming it all over to the left seems to take away emphasis from the POP words?
