I am the voice crying for urgent recognition. I am the face unseen, The voice unheard, The goldmine undiscovered, The vision yet to be realized, The potential yet to be tapped, The dream yet lived. I am not the rage lining The corners of the streets. I am not the hunger, The anger. I am not the disease, The poverty Nor the song of no liberty. I am not the threats and The fret. I am not the illusion, No, not the discord. I am the seed with the Potential to grow and feed a thousand mouth. I am the one who brings smiles Upon the once dry faces. I am the one with the will power To withstand the tempo of the Hot day and the pelting Fangs of the cold night. I am the invaluable emerald That adorns the streets of civilization. I am time never to be stopped, A star never to quench. I am myself. I am one. « return. |
