Greater Than

Chained are thee who play the part

But Free are we that wear the scars

of those who judge us

because we know not

how to be Phony

All we know is real....

Far from Holy but still

Far better that Fake

Make no mistake

I aim to please

But not if pleasing means

giving up all that is me

No indeed

The seed that I am planting is prosperity and truth

The seed that you are planting is filled with insincerity

and only barbarity will bloom

From the Garden that defines you

and apparently you've resigned to that definition

Afraid to be different

Just to simply "Be" is not sufficient

and I don't get it.

Why you long to be equal to everyone else

I'll never understand

I don't strive to be equal....

but rather Greater than.
