how great the man
that needs no platform
but speaks his heart
reciting his thoughts
how great the man
that finds no blame
that looks for praises
but only for others
how petty the man
who thinks he rises
by lowering others
for he never gains
let not the petty man
control your heart
dominate your mind
or mold who you are
seek rather to be great
standing on your beliefs
speaking your heart
seeking to be true
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

I can not find the words, nor the thoughts I need to respond to this poem. I can only cry. No one on Earth can escape the need for this message.
