Greatness

I watched people  waste their blood fooling themselves in order to strive for a life that wasn't their own.

That they could not obtain.

Trying ever so hard to stretch to the golden heavens, to a life touched only in dreams, to a life no person belongs.

All will die.

All will fail.

I watched people change.

I watched people fail.

I watched the world in my face shrivel and die as those who owned it shrivelled and died.

I watched myself scream alongside my fellow man.

And when my fellow man left, I left with him.

Not knowing where I was going, we were both lost.

And when he turned to me and said 'who are you?' I said:

"I am the great mass of people!"

"I am the one with Hope's and dreams to make this world beg on its knees."

"I am the one who can twist the tide of time." 

"Yet I am the one who covers from my farmers hook."

"Who lives in fear of the world beyond my pen."

"I am, Iam."

"I am the weak among the weak."

"I am the drop within the ocean."

"Blade among the field."

And as I spend my life trying to love and hold you, i ask;

Who the hell are you?
