How many walk among us
that we don’t even know?
The reclusive Picassos and
downtrodden Van Goghs,
The sequestered savants
and homeless heroes,
hiding in plain sight
while thinkin’ they’re zeroes.
The Robin Williams that never was,
The Vaclev Havel afraid to write,
The Michaelangelo of the street
and Da Vinci of the Night?
How many walk this planet
Pretending they’re not on it?
Please enrich our world
with brush, song, and sonnet.
