Not such an excellent I
Let me not be such an excellent I
That to the best of poems clap can’t I.
If I can’t be such a top-talent I,
Let me be like an ant diligent I.
To grind day long to remedy day’s wrong,
Drinking darkness of night, mendicant I.
Were raging fires of life to consume me
To ash, let me strive still, the remnant I.
O let me light up someone’s darkling night
Than be on my present, jubilant I.
