Living Life Is Beauteous Poem by Mark Heathcote

Blood is spilt on parchment or vellum
But it is not forever treasured
An empty pen used by your cerebellum
It is filled with ink; overflowing, uncensored
Yes, it should be joyous to live a full life
Embodying all life with eternal love
We can all preach and wield a sharp knife
Carve a message in stone, using our tongues
That's either for good or evil wickedness
But let love embody you—entice us
Let's put love on our children's syllabus
Let's teach them that living life is -beauteous,
That social media is a frivolous waste
That leaves us all feeling empty and displaced.
