What do you mean points?

What do you mean points?

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Points?

Do you think I came here for points?

Reminds me of a saying,

"Badges?  We don't need no stinking badges!"

No.

I will carry on,
  and like a child in the wilderness,
  I will stumble along.

I will try.

I will learn.

Every now and again,
  I will create something special.

Sorry,
  I don't need a gold star.
