The Numbers Game | A Poem By Brad Carver

Below you will find my latest poem. One that I think we all can relate to. One that speaks of the numbers game. The very thing that people use to measure fortune, and fame. I hope you enjoy it, and that it speaks to your soul. Never, ever get lost to the numbers, and never think that those numbers reflect someone's worth. For it's in what we do, and not the attention we get that speaks volumes on our behalf.


The Numbers Game

When numbers are the bottom line,

and people you know you pay no mind

It's time to ditch the sell

Lest you find yourself in the depths of Hell

For greed can never be satisfied,

and the numbers, well, they've always lied

True worth is not a numbers game

It's not the value of the dollar, or the resulting fame

True worth lies with those who care

Those called friends who freely share, 

Those who don't withhold 

gifts of wisdom or of love, the things that are best never sold

So the next time you weigh yours or someone else's worth on the numbers scale

Ditch the idea quickly before you fail

Before you fail at this life,
and the cost accrued causes you strife.
