The Individual

Rational and steadfast,
not dismal and bleak.

Put darkness in contrast,
show how all else is weak.

Others hide in the shadows,
of useless lives.

They conform to the masses,
a billion bee hives.

And those with the light,
put down through the years.

are those who shine through,
wipe away all our tears.
