Carole Moran - Credibility

I want 'CREDIBILITY'
Graved on a stone for me
When I die.
I want no name or
Carved dates to frame
My life by.
I wish it to speak of my
Struggle and reason why
Herein I lie.
I wish my life had been
Real for just being in
The hurricane's eye.
I need a diploma, though,
Showing I'm in the know
Before I vie.
I want 'CREDIBILITY'
Graved on a stone for me
When I die.
For power is such that I
Have all I want when I
Finally die.

(July 2,1991)
