Reach one

This was something I did after doing the first "Write Way" program which teaches children about creative writing and how english class can help in writing a song... I just did this on the spot... but ehh check it out

Tho I write for many/
I am one/
Tho it provides plenty/
I have none/
Tho I am friendly/
I'm lonesome/
Tho I pry, bending/
I'm not strong/
Tho my life seems to be envied/
I envy some/
Tho I stop to guess the ending/
I carry on/
Children's children are the crowns of old men/
then why is the village's child, not mine to tend?/
when all my goal is to reach many/
I cannot rest, no can't rest any/
not one bit, I can't reach none/
I'll try I'll try til I reach one/
To teach that life, tho ugly and cruel/
can sometimes reward a dreaming fool/
the tools you need, the tools indeed/
are all but words to wash the greed/
to reach one, to teach one, to show ones way/
tho none, tho lonesome, tho weak you'd stray/
to reach one is to plant a seed...
so reach one...
so reach one...

I like, though one line is slightly contradictory.
"I can't reach none"
It's a double-negative, and results in the sentence: "In an attempt to reach none, I have reached some"

It's very deep, and, in a way, represents the life of a writer in a way realer than most would like to admit.
Very good write.

The life and times of those who do so much for so many and receive so little in return. This definately tells that story. Another great piece, short stuff lol.
