"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Turned another way is:
"A lie for a lie, a truth for a truth."
"Something for nothing."
Always means:
"Nothing is free."
I feel for people who will never know how to feel.
I love the people who will never learn to love.
I learn from the people who will never learn.
I hear for the people who will never hear, speak for the people who will never speak, and live for the people who will never live.
I am the soul of mankind.
(This poem was written for a poetry class at my college. It and 4 others were published in the college periodical, thus ensuring that I passed the class.)
