Poem Title:
Poem
GREATNESS A term few truly understand And the scarce few that comprehend See in its stead an ephemeral belief More a fantasy than a reality Laughing at the audacity a being would possess To even spend time to think such possibility A feat born of decision and desire To do more and to be even more Refusing to be easily boxed in Believing so strongly in the yet un-seen Shutting out the noise that easily distracts Learn to separate what be wheat from chaff Grasping that the labour is not in the separation But in the ability to decipher, discern oat from ort for to make a mistake at such an intricate juncture Is to mar what could have been What would have been What was to be Hence... Greatness calls for the deeper reasoner the tenacious, persistent and faithful The believer, not the believer-wanna-be Who sees through the haze that life truly is And focuses his percipience instead On the truth wherein lies one's destiny To throw aside all that terms superfluity For nihility has weight, yet no station to present So take it, thaw it, and from it build big dreams Seize darkness, and from it force out the light For did he not say "LET THERE BE LIGHT?" An order, deep darkness could not ignore Why then expect less and call yourself a believer? LIAR! I DARE YOU, if you possess what it takes Be great, be eminent, and not a thing less For I have tasted the vital fluid And in it finally found my truth I AM .......... GREATNESS!
