enduring purpose

all good we've done we could not quick forswear
but anger and desire must ever strive
within the heart of each human alive

the limits are so very hard to bear
it's far too easy just to take a dive
all good we've done we could not quick forswear

in the long end we find that each must care
not just for self but that more good will thrive
in every heart and that truth will survive
all good we've done we could not quick forswear
