14. laurel wreath, fasces, name set in stone

i have always
called it community
or respect
from those
i admire
those
"that know"
pretending
a humble success

but in truth
what is wanted
accolades
praise
adoration
from anyone
who will pick up
carry on shoulders
a schoolyard hero

friends
romans
countrymen
lend me your ears
before the good
whatever may be
as so oft is
be interred
with my bones
