fauxcroft

I had an epiphany 

In a single thought,

What if my soul

Could not be brought,

For a handful of cash

Or some material goods,

Or the chance to move

To a better neighbourhood.

As I have never been tested

At all in this way,

It would be easy for me to say,

I would decline all these offers

And a lot more,

To stick to my principles 

And just stay poor.

But the fact is though,

I may wish and hope this is true,

But until I have been tested,

By these things it’s true,

I will never actually know

Just what I would do,

But I seriously believe

I would stay true,

To all that I am 

And all I believe,

And wait for another epiphany.
