Somuadina

What is in a name?
That is the question we ask
Not chosen because of its fame
For ahead lies a task.

They said together we can go far
Holding each others hands
But can I ask you a question sir?
What if no one takes my hand.

For if I am not meant to be alone
But to carry everyone along
Why does the world feel like a stone?
A place I don't feel among.

Because I have seen enough of this world
Just like it's sitting across me at dinner
But despite these woes
My son, your name would be SOMUADINA.
