what's important?

Of what use is your life
To a world full of strife?
Can it save the dying
Who is sick of lying?
Life's not the seed you know,
It's the fruit that you show;
It's not the word you learn,
It's the worth that you earn.
It's not about fables,
It's for food on tables;
It's not fame,no, not zeal,
This is life and it's real.
It's not your big grammar,
Though it's like a drama;
...not just prosperity
It's for posterity.
...not just education,
It's emancipation,
It's not about letters,
It's that things be better.
