You Never Listen
I Swallowed a Fly

Delusions of Competence
Summers in Coos Bay
A Child Unveiled
Food for Thought
crucial missing pieces
On Turning 31

Entrepreneurs
Antonio
Be Simple
The Painter
Eau de Vie
You Have No Humor
Grandma Finally Expresses Herself
Our Halloween Costume Conflict
She Hangs Holly
 

*Home*


   Entrepreneurs

In a sea of mediocrity
We toil while others sleep
Willing to resign ourselves
Bearing each risk, we leap!

In a field of negativity
With no ear to sympathize
We take the burden to create
What others criticize

Never do the sleepers say
Thank you for this bold view
Or recognize our efforts made
To give them something new 

Like lepers we are ostracized
And made to feel like wood
As if like robots we exist
In a world they never would 

Trying to transcend ourselves
We wake to work and then
With vigor recognize the world
And still embark again!

Written July 2001
