Analysis of Net Worth
What is the price tag you place on your soul?
When do you draw the line for self-parole?
Where are your values on the totem pole?
How does veneration alter your goal?
What do you stand for that you fully prize?
When would rather die than compromise?
Where is it important to improvise?
How many choices will you jeopardize?
What hot temptations seduce you to stray?
When is deep loyalty your only way?
Where do you settle and decide to stay?
How many commitments will you betray?
What sets you running to the arms of grace?
When can love feelings cause you to embrace?
Where do you orbit in dark outer space?
How many misfortunes should you erase?
What are the components of your "net worth?"
When are you pragmatically down-to-earth?
Where are your certificates of rebirth?
How do you reconcile bounty and dearth?
