I can spin a tale
A thousand miles a minute.
I can sing a song
Of my very surroundings.
I can write an essay
Debating global warming.
But when it comes down
To saying what's right,
Nothing comes out,

and carries the

in its palms.
But if man can
learn,
if he can
learn to see,
we can stop
even
death.
