The Purpose of Living

The Purpose of Living

A Poem by COLLYMORE
"

Principles are the bedrock on which any civilization worthy of the name is founded, and since people form that civilization it equally applies to them.

"

By Stanley Collymore

 

Life can hardly be regarded as worth

Living, if during its tenure there

Wasn’t a single matter of

Conscience for which

Its recipient was

Quite willing

To die for.
