What Would It Profit

"What would it profit to gain the whole world and lose your soul?"

 

What would it profit

For me to lose control

I wouldn't gain one thing

Only lose my soul

To be caught lost

In this all familiar state

Is a sure way to hell

And it's bound to seal my fate

So what would it profit

If I just laid down and died

Would it show my bravery

Or how I fought and tried

Life is filled with what if's

Consequences of a cause unfit

Only illusions to the conclusions

Again what would it profit

 

Author's Note

What do we profit in this world we live in?....maybe you have the answers

"Only illusions to the conclusions"
A great coincidental rhyme.

The Chinese commit suicide on the door steps
of the one's who have wronged them to shame
the whole family. It's considered noble.
Go figure?

I keep myself going through a sense of curiosity.

You write wonderfully!
