“Great”
Seems where ’ere masses
gather---“Birds of a feather”
Narcissus “celebrity” abounds
among self-Love together
Boisterous “Royal! Elite!”
Politico becomes first choice
Humble “True Hero” do “Good”
anonymous stilled voice
“Great” commons wraithlike brush
softly through humanity
Strident Kings and Lords
attentions confess near-“insanity”
“My way! Or, No way!”
Commands some mighty leader
“Thy will be done!” Oft
prays any humble servant greeter
Through history the truly “Great”
are well-remembered kind
Jefferson, Jackson, “Teddy”, JFK,
and Reagan: A treasure find
With: Mother Theresa, moms and
dads along with humble others
Quietly, they shine gold-sun delight
while “Goodness” further
Stands tall a 1500’s saintly-man
name of Sir Thomas Moore
Challenged head-to-head some
“King” to trump faux score
“My allegiance to yon king, but
only after my true---God! In heaven”
King “what’s-his-name” blasphemed
God in search of lucky “seven”
Enlisted Lord Cromwell treachery
to secure Sir Tom should lose his head
In Faith! Moore died; Five years
fate found the Lord also “un”-joined dead
Might wonder humble I: Which soul
be white? The other surely black!
Saint Thomas’ halo golden glows;
demon-Cromwell only a devil’s hack
“Innocent” upset parent precise-plan
caused anger-strife as progeny happy smiled
Pre-chosen school, career,
spouse; missed space of beautiful blameless grandchild
Choose careful-wise; Love!
Be not a limited commodity measured
Rather, sacred spread abundantly
as eternally replenished treasured
Stand humble I with Sir Thomas
saint, send love the world around
Praise! Honor! Glory! Judgment
Day! Pray it be I which He astound
Born within the thought-inception
sown be fertile seed “Hope” germination
Nurture well through “tender love”
for final harvest: “Great!” determination
Amen!
