George Washington
Not Alexander, not Caesar, not Napoleon
None of the warring butchers
Can measure up to him
Who could have been but didn't want to be a king
Who didn't allow himself to be a god
Who running far ahead of all humankind
Grabbed the future
And brought it back
Like an ordinary apple
To put on the table of a new nation
