They measure intelligence -
The reflection of the mind
They measure your appearance
Of what a glance will find
They measure character,
They mark every mistake
They measure your self-worth
With every move you make
If that’s not good enough,
Go further if you dare
Begin the daunting task -
Look at others
And compare.
You’ll never measure up -
There’s always one who’s more
It leaves us so defeated
So what do we measure for?
I've read some of your other work. You're very talented. This work is very nicely done. Perhaps, if you haven't already done so in another poem, you should answer that question yourself. That's what poets (and philosophers) are for. :)
