GRAND

Thinking on the ideas by Stoics on being grand


Ofcourse I am Grand, I am wise too

Petrified you may be, cold as a salmon


Afford we may, but need, do we ?

Gestures, actions and eyes, they splurge anyway


Embellishments, medals, honours just take space

A letter even, needs the grandeur of language


Wrong, one thinks, Grand brings with itself

But look at nature, the Grand-est of all


The weakness of social frameworks

The binds of nicety and being-a-man

The truth of basic needs

Being lost in milieu


Grand is but, the dance of a peacock, the mane of a lion

Grand are ideas and ideals of humans


Shed that facade and embrace truth, all of it

Bit-by-Bit the light will shine and illuminate


Revealing parts of you, you hidden behind all those clothes of slavishness

If only one can reveal what is truly Grand
