What we inherit makes us what we are.

Having learned this, I go forward from whatever age

I grasped truth by the horns and rode on.

What we carry through millenniums stays with us,

giving hope that we are growing,

learning from soul’s experience that life

is a gift of changes through purity.

What we leave when we exit this place of time not chosen stays.

Having learned this, I go on and reconnoiter elsewhere,

while truth holds others by the throat.

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Please do not critique mechanics. The inconsistencies in style are intentional, or correcting them is not important to me.
i wrote this in '02 - although stated above concerning mechanics, i am open to whatever one feels to state.
