take.

take it down. take it slow. take care.
take your time. take it easy. take back, what’s yours.
take it all down-

all the heroes and churches,
idols and figures,
social and political.

will all
remember you
as some clown from around.
the one,
no one knew well enough
to care about.

don’t
allow anyone
the ability
to turn you
into an insignificant
little ant.

then again,
whatever one may do,
let no one
take one down.

life is ones.
let no one
take it away.
