Low Men

The low men who look up from below
Judging those to whom they cannot ascend
Clawing for those they do not know

Striving to lower the noble soul
Rather than helping raise them up 
In ignorance of what they stole

Rise above where we began
Rise to become what we may be
Rise to the challenge as we all can
Rise and rejoice in a soul that’s free
