- Lesser Man -

A lesser man I couldn't find,
The lesser man would leave it all behind.
Whilst I'm a lesser man than you,
I'm strong enough to embrace the truth.

Lost this battle, I'll win the war,
Forgotten what I'm fighting for.
The world so clean, has been stained with blood,
The truth now tainted, clear as mud.

Weak of heart, strong of mind,
I once could see, now I'm blind.
The lesser man would have given up,
Maybe I'm a strong man, who is out of luck.

Great job on this one. i really liked this just like your other poems.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Yo Noz,
yet another stroke of genius!  
Man what's with the influx of woodstock collection??
Seem's Albert's a big fan!!
what's with the stupid little padlocks??
Anyway about the friendship thing, now you have me worried, i swear that whatever you read into those poems about our friendship is all in your head, i merely meant them in a metophorical sense!
Anyway i think we need to talk.

Good job on this. It's well written.  

By the way, Tears_of_a_Phoenix, the padlocks mean that the thread is closed for a while. In a little while the padlocks will be gone.

I like this... the thoughts are very interesting.
Particularily, how you rhymed caught my eye.  Rhymes with a vowel tense, as in the last stanza.  When done correctly the reader doesn't even notice that this is being done.
I didn't notice.     Good job.
I hope to read more of your work in the future.
