I'M Many Names-W

I am never going to accomplish the fame Sweet of the rose is in the name it bears Things are not only what they really claim. Not to be writ on a roster I have a name It has been given by god and my parents I am never going to accomplish the fame. My neighbours have given me a name By my appearance, walking in the airs But things are not only what they claim My enemies have given me a name Judging me by corporate demeanours I am never going to accomplish the fame. I have names by vices, virtues and blame Given by my love, life, work and death But things are not only what they claim. I am never going to accomplish the fame. ============================= Ninth place win in Constet: I'am sponsored by Paula Swanson
