A Reiteration Of Desiderata Poem by RIC BASTASA

he could have been in the wrong place
even the trees believe
that he does not exist
the stars do not give him any
sign of the zodiac
but look at him
even without the recognition of the trees and stars
he still exists

know what? because he is.
he is,

and that being himself
gives him that right to be
what he shall be

here,
here,

for in truth if only the trees and the stars know this
they should have known that as a man
he has the right to be here.
