The Problem With the World Today

We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant?
If I could stand alone,
Strong and free.
I'd rather be
Gorgeous,
Handsome,
Talented.

I'd rather be
A pleasant-smelling flower.
Growing in clusters
Praised,
Handled.
Plucked.
I'd rather be
Watered,
Fed,
Guarded,
Admired.
I'd rather be
Powerful beyond measure.
