Expectations

Burden of Atlas we shove on our children
dreams of grandeur we seed in their head
Fertilizing, too much manure killed one
Over watering, wilted their dream now dead

You can\'t make an orange tree into a pear
A hammer is not a saw
table never a chair
a flamingo is not a macaw

Orpheus was not meant for war
Hawking no captain of a football team
Value instead what you are
not what society does esteem
