Least Valentine

A lesser man may teach
Of galaxies and goals
A greater man may reach
 
A lesser man may storm and preach
And stifle out
The greater’s role

One red may deepen down
Into a bright vermilion
Because another fades
 
Lost to us the genius of a million
Because of a tyrant’s parades
Celebrating their graves
 
Yet greater than these may rise
As only from the least
Can come the wise
