Who are we?
We have been labeled rebels, uncouth, egotistical maniacs…yes the insults have been hurled at us. We have taken them, re-fueled ourselves, even laughed in their faces. We have made them jealous of our ways, our uncompromising attitudes have made enemies to last us generations. We think we are the epitome of society, the most sought after prize this side of the sahara, we attract crowds by the thousands, we are hounded by media houses. We issue incoherent statements, make grandiose plans, steal from the public without resentment. We are corrupt in our ways, our followers worship the ground we walk on, we are selfish, yes selfish indeed. Do not be mistaken though, we are the cream of the crop, our doctors are based abroad, we only work when we feel like, yet we collect devilish paychecks each month. Yes sir, we will clamor for change, as long as that change is beneficial to my pursuit of power, yes more power. We have no vision whatsoever, we are uncouth egotistical maniacs only looking out for our best interests. They call us honorable, yes, but there is nothing honorable about us, we are what we are. We are uncouth rebels and egotistical maniacs. You know who we are
Afraid To Be Great
I will not be afraid to be great, I will
Seek to find
Truths that bind
To leave behind
Ignorance of mind
Like a spell unwind
And speak my mind
I will not be afraid to be great.
I will not be afraid to be great, I will
Seek to dispose
Curtail and expose
Dispel and disclose
Generalizations that impose
Conclusions that boast
Unfairly of course
Write dispositions and discourse
That Ignorance is so close
I will not be afraid to be great.
I will not be afraid of greatness, I will
Go forth in life with dedication
Draw from life such inspiration
Bless other life with appreciation
Reflect on this life in meditation
Give in life with love and affection
Pursue my life’s joy with a passion
Dedicate to life all my attention
I will not be afraid of greatness.
