I have nothing I want
yet everything I need
to live out this life-time
a statistic of deed…
siblings and number?
parents or none?
wealthy or wanting?
I am listed as one
one that'll need schooling
one to need food
one more in short pants
one with no shoes
each one a statistic
of all that I am
of all that I could be…?
but then still only a man.
Whomever it is that we all strive to be…?
We will only ever be what this day decides.
