I am greatness.


I AM GREATNESS! I am an acorn pregnant with an oak An icon of hope that cannot be holed down A seed of greatness waiting to burst forth I am the morning star lighting the darkest skies And like a comet, I blaze my own path For I am greatness. Like Joseph, am'a arrive at the palace  Being thrown in the dry well of poor family background can't stop me Corruption, the wife of Potiphar won't lure me And no prison bar of economic imbalance is thick enough to hold me down For like Pharaoh's, my dream swallows them all For I am greatness.  I am a dream, a vision of tomorrow  That tiny spark of light in an ocean of darkness Building up, gearing up to burn down all that stands in my path In my heart is a raging wildfire that cannot be tamed Nothing dare stands in my way For I am greatness!
