Lifetime Purposes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Quality of life stands upright in corners, secretly propped
up by hidden forces.

Lifetime purposes set in battle array, awaiting the diligent
parade of morally correct ethics.

Sensing the egregious functions of needless prey, protecting
the well-built barriers, to keep at bay, cursory glances of
unknown enemies towards life.

Figuratively creeping along shorelines, finding meaning and
understanding within certain places in time.

Functioning no longer on time clocks built with human hands,
decisively arrogant, parading down empty corridors, wondering
what has happened.
