Shall i reach beyond my pedestal and all that
it bequeaths
Display abdication in request of
humility

Shall i give obscurity my desolate
embrace
& sip idly the embittered waters
of non-fruition's lake

Shall i make counterfeit my sincere
yearnings
And focus complacently on
modesty's unfurling

i ask in what existence
does this capacity lie
For even a seed clings greedily
to the soil its has conquered for
nourishments supply

It bears no blame for when it was
a seed the same terrain restricted its
movement
shall we cast a discerning eye upon it
for simply gripping what its pedestal objectifies
