Worth My Weight in Dust

 


Hey, you, the respectable Dust. 
You are on an errand,
tonight.
The morrow, you shall trudge
for the rays of sunlight.
And day after,
you shall reach 
a place of absolution.
If and only if,
when and only when,
you deserve peace. But no, 
yes you don't.

The if and when
of life
magnifies the truth,
a reality, mine and yours.
The inevitability of
a tanking worth.
