You won’t get noticed
you won’t get introduced
you won’t get a contract
you won’t get produced
you won’t get publicized
highly prized
bribed
or fantasized
perhaps neglected
even rejected
certainly marginalized
no glory
no glory no credit
no being sought after
no light in your face
oft times no laughter
no pay for the word you sang
or recited
no visit with the president
no being beknighted
Just you all alone with a friend to say hi to
no “S” on the chest
just a daddy to cry to
No big rally making everything good no final tally to fix it like it should be no screaming voice finally getting heard,
But
justice, kindness, gentle words
caring for the little one here and there
loving on an older one with thin white hair
taking time to being small as
small as life can be
living up to the downward call servant shall you be
no glory.
