I want to make 'It'

I perspire, you perspire. To fulfil
the desire to leave a lasting legacy,
so when we leave this earth we appreciate the energy
input, the inner initiative to inspire

But don't sweat it, I do this to hear the choir
singing my praises
to observe the wanton gazes
and to know it's me who they want.

finally
fool stop.

a chance to breathe. 
constantly under siege
by the outer, pressured
to prove the doubter
wrong.

You do what you do for you.
& none of the above.
except for the one.  You must find and love.


we want to make it,
'it' is not seen or known
not even set in stone,
not naturally produced or grown,

What did we want before 'it' existed?
