TRUE TESTS
The true test in life is hanging on to who we are,
negotiating offers that will take us far,
we're always being tested on all levels of life,
whether pleasure, entertainment, career or wealth.
All life's paths test our values and virtues,
prodding and pushing at our morals and issues,
will we fall to cheating when times get tough,
or will we hold on to honesty even though it is rough.
Will we sacrifice our purity for money and fame,
cheapen ourselves then give others the blame,
or will we let it pass and find another way,
hold on to the truth for yet another day.
Will we opt for the corporate ladder and deny our morals,
taking delight in human praise and falsified laurels,
or will we choose to uphold our permanent treasures,
that far outweigh any material measures.
