We Have A Purpose
We're not here to take up space or exhaust resources.
We're not here for money chase
or craving recourses.
We're just here for brief display or transcendent sessions.
We're just here to show the way
or understand lessons.
We're not here to veil all stealth or conceal our wishes.
We're not here for public health
or sumptuous dishes.
We're just here to live our faith or trust human insights.
We're just here for tiny wraith
or the ghostly delights.
We're not here to seek applause or wonderful praises.
We're not here for selfish cause
or undeserved raises.
We're just here for wider scope or clandestine traces.
We're just here to proffer hope
or extend good graces.
