 </div><p></p>You see those ones,<br>
Those ones over there?<br>
With hunchbacks<br>
And disfigured rears.<br>
Those ones, who trampled<br>
On our names and wouldn’t care.<br>
Those ones who were too big<br>
To be called our peers.<br>
They told us we knew nothing<br>
That our brains were bare,<br>
And even the mantle of their sandals<br>
Was too much for us to bear.
<p>You see those ones,<br>
Those ones on their knees?<br>
Defeated, humbled<br>
And now reduced to pleas.<br>
Those ones with scattered mouths<br>
Having too many needs.<br>
They told us our mountains we will never<br>
Conquer, that we were destined for valleys<br>
They said our fears we will never go past,<br>
That with defeats we pally.<br>
They said we were too dull, too young,<br>
Too dumb to ever think we can make it.</p>
<p>You see them?<br>
Over there they stand.<br>
They have no place of abode<br>
They now live in the sands.<br>
And there they are, wanting to be pitied<br>
And given helping hands.<br>
Forgetting they once bragged we were nothing,<br>
And we don’t even deserve a chance.<br>
They said we lacked the skills<br>
And all our mistakes they sang.<br>
Now they are back, playing the music of mercy,<br>
Hoping we would dance.</p>
<p>But we over here,<br>
We won’t be like them.<br>
We won’t display teeth of mockery,<br>
But project smiles of care.<br>
We would say to those coming behind<br>
They can skate ahead of their fears.<br>
No, we won’t ever tell them they can make it,<br>
But sing it to them they can be the best.<br>
We wouldn’t tell them to concede defeats,<br>
But teach how to kick challenges well<br>
On the butt, and always saying to difficulties<br>
With smiling faces, “we can always propel”</p>
