//////////

And
Greatness

( like Rain )

Filters thru the
Mediocrity

Writing in small letters

( Humbly and gently )

••

UNAFRAID !

even as the peacocks flutter
& beg

Each other

For the mercy they never are offering



Children in rags !
Children in rage !

And we tell them

I CAN RELATE !
BROTHERS AND SISTERS !

JUST LET IT OUT AND IT'LL
ALL GO AWAY !

( in other words --

GET LOST !)

////////

Walkin in the rain

////////

We are the irresponsible
( the mediocre )



We are as AFRAID of GREATNESS
as we are of the kids of the streets

AFRAID OF EACH OTHER

AFRAID OF THE GREATNESS
that tries ( somehow )

To penetrate the darkness settling
All around

//////

The light is still
Shining

I know
( I live within )

••

We can still redeem ourselves

••

We can offer apology

We can walk like men

We still can be

What we were born to be
