Alexander Browne - (untitled)

Were I a stronger man I would punish those who wrong, but I am a
weak man.
Were I a leader I would lead people to change the world, but all I can do
is follow.
Were I a wise man I would divine what the solution is, but I am not a
wise man.
Were I a great man I would change the world myself, but I am not a
great man.
Were I a religious man I would pray for salvation, but I fear there is no
one to listen.
Were I another man I would do many things, but I am only myself and
can do little.


(this is an unfinished poem, I haven't figured out how I'm going to end it.)
