You believe you have something I want. <br />Something of value, <br />I need to possess. <br /> <br />Those are sinister conclusions, <br />You wear upon your chest. <br />I have no interest in emptiness. <br />And that is all you have at best! <br /> <br />What I seek is something genuine. <br />Something one has, <br />That is not professed. <br /> <br />Qualities that are rare, <br />Are those I wish to share. <br />But they seem to be, <br />An impossibility. <br />Since many I see... <br />Believe themselves to be untouchable. <br />And being able to touch, <br />Is what I admire and desire much! <br /> <br />And you aint got that!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
