For Greatness

Look! Evolution’s greatest idioms
how we have come so far and high
from the unfinished sketch of
our potentials, we rebelled against
our outlines and drew the reins
on the neck of our arid fates.

We stand thus upon glories
and look to the unimpossible future
even time can not deny
only asks us to wait.

Ours is not a yellow bricked path
it is a road that does not seek
but creates its own cities of green gems
it is a root that branches deep
that no water nor soil can hide
from our reach.

Each of us, our fores and afters
our first and last inhale
swim in that knowledge that we
were born and bound for greatness.

Greatness, we have often found
and at times lost through other names
but always, always for it
we raise our aim.
