When I am not alert
Do not think I am losing,
I like to dip inside
To know the truth
For everybody's benefit.
People may say I am dull,
I beg to differ with them.
If I can be named
That is only free soul.
Looking me subdued
Some may neglect me as obscure,
I smile in my mind,
I like to be so.
There are people who boast
They are so renowned,
Rich and intelligent.
I remain calm because
I do not want to be anyone of them.
Whatever way I distinguish myself
I bind me with that,
I do not want any designation
So that I remain free ever.

Very good.
Many people feel that certain political groups are the rich and the elite, however it is we the people who are poor that make this country. But it is the elite that look upon us as dull and try to keep us chained in. This is a very good piece.

Jesus scorned people who boasted about themselves. he said that others should boast about us. Humility is a great asset. thank you for this entry.
