Small men could be big if they’d only stand
with something. for something. for someone.
To carp and blame and blast and damn
is the worst thing of all when there’s good to be done
and men to be helped and loved: that's right. it’s not that they can’t it’s that they won’t, cause
to help a man stand, for his head to feel heights
you’ll never scale, to have him stretch at his fullest
makes you feel terrible that you can’t grow up with him and
that’s the terrible contradiction
That’s the worst thing of all.
