“To Measure the Man, Measure his Heart”

I am the man I say I am
From the way I walk
To the way I talk

A heart of gold
A mind of genius
A soul of God

The sound spirit of a champion
The mindset of a warrior
The demeanor of a conqueror

Yet stuck between the fear of the fight
Knowledge of the outcome
And ignorant of its importance

My feet cemented to a broken foundation
My mind loyal to lust and lies
My soul misplaced in mountains of confusion

A dead man with a heart
No sound, no rhythm
Just a lifeless organ

The mirror often reflects an image
The destruction of self or construction of self
My eyes reflected the heart of a stranger

Lack of care
Lack of concern
Lack of compassion

Damn shame when
Love leaves the heart
Life leaves the man
