“The Error of Life”

It is mine to measure

Mine to learn from

It is even mine to judge.

Yet you set and gage.

Measuring something you

Do not even understand.

It is mine to benefit from

To change for better or worse

Yet you set deciding.

What you want me to learn

Even the way you want me to learn it.

However, it is still mine

It is mine to measure

Mine to learn from

It is still mine to judge.

I set seeing the pain and sorrow,

Most thinking I do not see.

That I do not understand

Yet it is mine to see.

And to understand

It is mine to bring change.

To this life of mine
