english,
Have you attached yourself
To the numbers
Well enough that you
Have stripped yourself off
Of your genuine worth?
When grades lose measure
To your intellectual prowess,
When waistlines lose figure
To that coveted shape,
When pricy shoes lose step
To the miles your life will stride,
When numbers lose count
To man’s real worth,
Would there still be something left
Of your worth?
Literary: Value
Have you attached yourself
To the numbers
Well enough that you
Have stripped yourself off
Of your genuine worth?
When grades lose measure
To your intellectual prowess,
When waistlines lose figure
To that coveted shape,
When pricy shoes lose step
To the miles your life will stride,
When numbers lose count
To man’s real worth,
Would there still be something left
Of your worth?
