Life's Work (Free verse) by baughworm
âMany spend their entire lives
searching for enlightenment,
I like to spend my time
Leading others away from it.â
I received a quite cumbersome
Shovel at birth,
With which I was to
Begin work on my grave
Immediately.
As of yet I have not started,
For the shovel is rather heavy.
Instead I used it to plant a tree,
In hopes that some poor sod
Will be seduced by its
leaves and fruits,
flowers and abundant bees
To pick up a shovel of his own and
Start digging.
