Feet feeble, hands shaking

Heart races, temperature rising

Confused and Perturbed

For light has been darkened

He opened his eyes but sight failed him

He put on his glasses but the lens was broken

His heart yearned for a distance land

His mind searched for the path unknown

He has myopia and a raging passion

Yet he straddled himself like a man on a mission

He’s not sure of the path that leads to his destination

But he’s certain one day he’ll rule the nations

The men of the streets laugh at his foolishness

They think he’s stupid to believe in greatness

He respects their disbelieve and embrace his madness

For only a madman would dare to do the impossible

Are you as crazy as he is?

For only crazy men change the world

Are you willing to look insane?

Giving your all, doing all it takes.
