Greater Things

What should we do
with ourselves?
a life shouldn't rust
upon unreachable shelves

Some are too weak
to lift the weight
those with strength
just procreate

No lessons learned
no deeds done
provides a clean slate
that may stun

If people shed skin
to see the bones
of real fake people
such superficial drones

What should we do
with this time lent?
better figure it out
before our chance is spent.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
