Give Us Credit

On occasion we do accede
the peak of the highest hill
Achieving our greatest deed
A goal we set out to fulfill

Sitting on top of the world
Passage attained foot by foot
Pondering each stone that we hurled
and every brick that we put

Zealously declaring our conquest
Victory for the world to hear
Witness to our dreadfully best
but all of us shed a slight tear

Mindfulness penetrates passion
and pierces everyone’s heart
for no echo returns compassion
and mute lips tear us apart.
