'What is Important?'

By Patrick Pritchard

The true meaning

Of this life

Is not in the buildings that we

build

Or the roads we travel

Or the things we acquire

For buildings will

Crumble

And roads soon be forgotten

And things cast aside

The true meaning

of this life

Is how we treat each

other

In these

buildings we

build

On the roads we travel

And with the things we

acquire

— Patrick Pritchard lives in Lawrence.

    All right, put down the pen, back away from the paper, and nobody gets hurt.
