POETRY
The End Product

 

BY CHESTER STONE P. BATNAG

Muscles hit their limits on roads of ambition

The nobility heard flows in songs of vision

Within great needs for wealth, goal's plated for auction

Means won't be held yet yields an equation

 

Some often moved in chains from poverty's sanctions

Unacknowledged if seen, sacrificed exhaustions

Sparks of darkness emerged, ignored by the mission

Adding joy to their lives is work's satisfaction

 

Awaits them are blankets made from threads of passion

Embraced chances gave lamps enlightening each tension

Walls were broken by things that caused rock's diffusion

Adding joy to their lives is work's satisfaction

 

Carriage pulled to welfare of tenderfoot's fortune

In battles they land on, minds cling to one reason

The thought in parents' love gave strength beyond season

Borrowed force' is paid soon with scenes of progression

 

Unanchored were their feet in employment's motion

Motives have entered deeds in every decision

Yet each ends down the path to one certain region

The work chosen would sum into life's completion
