Greatness from Obsessives by Bob Gaulke

Greatness (Emaj)

do we still believe
can we achieve
yes you insist
on greatness

goodness wasn’t adequate
all those starving children
fairness in all fairness
wasn’t much help

old and naive
we have this crazy need
it’s deeply rooted
in our mortality

losing sight of our lives
compressed into apartments
to think at other times
people actually changed shit

all these people that you’ve known
unlike those who’ve
left their homes
they took a stand for dailyness

you could easily describe
the years gone by
as just a way to hide
all that greatness
