Of all the views in the world <br />Mine had to be of a mine. <br />Of all the silent spectators <br />I had to be the mute too. <br /> <br />Off all the shiny white lot <br />I had to be the tiny black dot. <br />Of the all the darkest nights <br />I had to be the slowest eclipse <br /> <br />Of all the half alive populace <br />I had to be the dead in solace. <br />I am the sun in the middle of the night <br />Of all the sounds in the world <br /> <br />Mine had to be of a whine <br />Of the great white mans burden <br />I had to be that black man laden <br />Of all the links of the revolution <br /> <br />I had to be the last of the coalition <br />Of all the keys of a board <br />I had to be the end <br />Of all the men in the world <br /> <br />I am the sprinter in a lame man’s race <br />Of all the men in the world <br />I am the old man who knows more than you <br />Of all the men in the world <br /> <br />I am the cobweb you can’t reach <br />Of all the men in the world <br />Mine is the hand that holds the wine. <br />Of all the men in the world <br />I am the one with whom your lady loved to dine<br /><br />jathin aka jesuzz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-quantum-of-solace/
