we were born for greatness.
let us ride this out,
take this town for ourselves.
let us chain smoke on the rooftops
and drink in the alleys.
let us shout the iliad
at the top of our lungs
to those who will not listen
and those who will not care.
let us travel the globe
in the name of life.
let us dance in korea, brazil, italy,
and return better than before.
let us learn of language,
of the universe inside us,
of people long dead
and of people still living.
we were born for greatness.
let us be great.
