It’s buck or break today
The buck is welcomed
But break will come someday
The dollar on the ledge
You reach to grab
But fall off the narrow edge
The wind speaks of personal failures
As you plummet
Because of reached for the buck
And ended up with the break

We all come into the World with nothing I agree. But do not go with nothing. Think of the persons like Mahatma Gandhi of India or any person of imminence in any Country. They leave their names to be heard and spelled by others. They had left with their pride. Don`t take this as critic. It`s the reality.
read my poems more. I had one comment from you earlier.

I agree. We come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. There is nothing that we can hold onto because everything ends, and dies. Our material possessions don't mean anything. We leave with nothing, but we can make a difference in other people's lives, who in turn make a difference in another person's life, and it continues until everyone on the earth has been affected by each of our actions. So this idea that we come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing is not depressing because we still make a difference in life. It does not mean that life is meaningless. But anyway, I'm not sure if I understand the metaphore of the dollar bill, reaching out for it, then falling. What's the point? That we shouldn't reach for the dollar bill? That the whole trip about life, is that you fall and fail?
Be True,
