SOME ARE THE "MOST"

A POEM by: Fernando de Mello Pimentel

Some of them know, most of them don´t.
Some of them will, most of them won´t.
Some of them can, most of them can´t.

Some are for sale, most are for rent.
Some roll the dice, most carry the weight.
Some pay the price, most bargain straight.

Some get away, most are detained.
Some get high, most are restrained.
Some get lucky, most are betrayed.

Some are authentic, most are fake.
Some call the shots, most follow orders.
Some are legal, most cross the borders.

Some go to school, most are alienated.
Some are loved, most are estranged.
Some are in peace, most are tormented.

Some are “the most”, most are “nothing”.
