Legendary

Some people are legends in their own minds,

others become legends in their times,

legends are not self appointed

legends are historically annointed

there are legends of the falls

and there are legendary fools

legends to be heroes or people of great deeds

but some go down as legendary

for being witless fools for forsaking opportunities

to govern under inspiring rules

lifting those who are down up

by spreading health, wealth and love

but others do not take that chance

and try to keep it for themselves and that’s the difference

between a legendary hero and a legendary fool

legends are revered by the people who they knew

so if wish to be legendy

do something that sets people free

don’t be a fool consumed by greed

or you will never be legendary except in your own mind.
