I was talking with a brother, thinking about all the "stuff" that is going on in politics and it reminded me of this poem I wrote ages ago. Enjoy.
Most People
Most people sing just one song
give just one speech,
have just one conversation –
usually with themselves.
Most people dance
just one dance,
walk just one walk
Go to just one place - many times.
Most Rock Stars give the same concert
over and over.
Most comedians tell the same joke -
although sometimes with different punch lines.
Most Authors who write just one book
can do it many times.
Most politicians have just one idea –
usually some else’s.
If you change your audience no one knows you are boring!
Some people however
Sing several songs,
Dance many dances,
Walk in different worlds.
Some people have endless conversations with many people.
Some people never listen
but others always do.
Some people stand out and stand up.
They are original, diverse, endlessly fascinating shining stars.
