Receipt

If I sold the World my soul,

I bet it wouldn't even be good enough to give me a receipt.

Tragic, pithy - says so much even though superbly brief.

Is always best to sleep on, rather than wake from a beautiful dream, don't you think!?
The value of human life appears to be getting less. No receipt required. What a sad state of affairs. A little brevity which conjures up strong emotions. Happy Sunday my friend.

It's nice to see that people are still writing on here. These days it would be a email receipt at the very least. (:

It does, indeed, my friend.
That would be amazing.
A very strong statement; and I believe if you sold your soul or my soul or anyone's souls to the world, trust me it wouldn't matter, because we are all just little specks in a huge universe, and we contribute so little in the big picture, that nothing would change, the world would still be the same....unfortunately....
Great for discussion...
Best, B

Thank you.
I love the title. Blunt and take it anyway you want to. So much attitude and i don't give a damn. Dark hearts are plentiful. Nice work. Grinning.

I bet you're right. An old friend of mine told me as I was enjoying the sunset "The world would probably charge you for it." He was right too lol.

Yes we often feel we don’t amount to much
But you are underprice checking and undervaluing your self you are a Gods creation unique

Great poem though
