The Worth of Morals

December 12, 2022
By Anonymous

The paper draws the map.

The paper creates the trap.

My morals will be tested.

What is worth the stack?


Do I sell my “infinite” time?

Or do I sit here and advise in rhymes?

Will I be happy with this paper?

Will my impact stay or stagger?


Words will live while paper will rot.

Family gives what money cannot.

Love is endless, but paper is not.

They taught me morals.

But should I follow them?


Do I believe in my purpose?

In my goals, strengths, and powers?

In my time to strive,

What will I give?


What route will I travel?

Are my morals worth more than money?

The question will live forever.

But what is your answer?


The author's comments:

In today's world, people may do irrational things to find a quick route to money and I think some of those things may go against their morals. This is my way of describing that question in which they will choose what is more important to them.
