The Song of Everyman

I am History!
Moulded of the Earth and the stars,
of the temporal silence of a tear,
    as Jesus of Narareth,
    Albert Einstein,
    Martin Luther King, or
    a dust particle in a ray of sunlight,
I threw off the shackles of inferiority.
In a moment of revelation, I knew
that breath is my sole defense
and totality is my joy.
