That Man

That man who by actions or by words
is respected so much
that man who by words or by actions
is celebrated so much
should forget that he was almost alone
when he revealed that emotion
that now belongs to everyone
should forget that he was almost alone
when he conquered the scepter that today
they all cheer

That man who by actions or by words
is listened to so much
that man who by words or by actions
is admired so much
remember why, why they love you
remember that you have departed from yourself
in pursuit of other beings
remember why, why they love you
remember that finding a reason
illuminates duties

That man who by actions or by words
is loved so much
that man who by words or by actions
is praised so much
take care of yourself, take care of yourself only
because there is a perverse pleasure in believing
you deserve it all
take care of yourself, take care of yourself only
because the same gift that lifted you up
can drown you in mud
