It’s not too bad Being a shade of brown To not stick out Like the rest of the town Mediocrity is not a curse It measures perhaps The content of your purse To not be the nail That gets hammered in Where we end, others can begin If it weren’t for us, Where would they go? They wouldn’t be special Or have an ego We are the brown canvas The medium wherein The vibrant traverse
