What do you get? A man
born wise of the world?

material wealth need not apply
who's less not a necessity
who's concept of life he knew solely
was but one.

What do you get? A man
with no lies to deny
no truths left behind
who has all the right people
in all the right places at all the right times

What do you get? A man
whose riches countless
yet symbolize not a single digit
who spends his whole life
in his last single moment

What do you get? A man
who knows problems none
if its an ultimatum he gave you
to either go or stay?
care or shun?
rhetorical question:

What do you get this man for his birthday?
the ability to have it the way he wants?
the ability to change things he cannot?
Is it the ability to open up a sack of bones
and fill it with love?

What do you get the richest man for his birthday?
cause he has the sun and the moon
when its all said and done
and theres nothing left...
.


the ability to have fun
