Have you ever thought that what you have to offer the world just isn't good

Question: Have you ever thought that what you have to offer the world just isn't good enough!?

All crass and motors, like another
day wielding no special torches,
nothing
to follow, just crass and words, like
a night of borrowed time,
all crap and lyric, like
silence
in a drain hole,
this isn’t the way!.
We gripe and grope and kindle tiny
flames of hope that
warm our egos just
enough
to light the edges of our
hearts and we give
because those torches up there
they need to be
brighter
And that is enough
for one day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good writing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The He!! with The World - I'm worried about the long-term survival of the rats and the cockroaches, at this point!.

BTW, did I hear you say "nothing"!? Okay then, here's my CLASSIC CORNY response - heck, good enough for the torches and edges of our violent egotistical world:

Come my scattered Atoms to your Center draw
And form the Eternal Mirror that you saw:
Rays that have Transcended Matter looking
have Returned, and Remember The Absolute Nothing

--- partly borrowed, partly mine (the sh!tier part that is)

Now, that's enough for an entire year!. :-)

I thought that what I had to offer the world
Wasn't enough,
So I dressed it up, put it on a silver platter!.
But the world wasn't impressed!.
Said it's your gift, not how it's dressed,
And silver doesn't matter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain!."
