Because … well … perhaps it’s because I’m just a little bit lardy.
But I am hardy and I do persevere.
Persevere for rights …
Sometimes through nasty fights including through the nights,
But always with rights in my sights.
The fights are for equity, for justice, for fairness for all …
But especially for the powerless, for the poor.
And that includes other than sapiens.
Those are the fights I have in my sights.
………………………….
(Sapiens???)
Sapheads! That’s our correct label
Yelled the flat-topped Marine,
The range ecologist in Alpine, Texas.
………………………………….
I am a saphead
But I’m trying, trying
To do some stinking critical thinking
Without too much blinking.
Desperation. Exhaustive desperation.
Desperate to truly be emPOWERed.
Even more desperate to emPOWER others
Dealt a poorer hand than most.
Desperate to realize
Some significant achievements.
Desperate to make just a bit
Of a positive difference.
