Just a number
Proverbs 22:1
22 Choose a good reputation over great riches;
being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
What’s in a name?
If I am just a number why do I have a name?
If I am just a creature why do I have a “heart”?
If I am here to slumber why am I wide awake?
If I am the feature why is my play out of date?
If I am the center why is my environment so large?
If I am a puppet than who holds my strings?
If I am a mentor why are no students at my feet?
If I am a trumpet who will play the song in need?
If “I” is a word of the past how could “I” be forgotten?
Maybe insensitive would be sensitive and indifference a lost cause
My life would be so fast in love with the ill-begotten
that maybe the prerogative in submission would endorse
