a courageous tree will grow
despite the lack of water
even if there is no other tree around
during the sunshine or the rain

The flower will bloom
without jepardizing the growth of another flower
despite the fact that her nectar will bring the bee
without ever feeling embarrassed

the lion is considered the king of the jungle
even though it does not live in a jungle
does not hunt for its own food
and is the weakest in the clan

so why can't we grow like the tree despite the conditions we're in
or bloom like the flower without being embarrassed
declare ourselves kings and queens of or territory despite who's watching
why?
