# Owning The World Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

# Owning The World

Rating: 5.0


MAN IS TRULY GREAT
to put back the world
to its normal trait
man needs to feel he is great
not just one GREAT man
to lead the rest in line
every single soul
needs to feel and show
his greatness to the other

LET US GREET EACH OTHER
WITH OUR GREATNESS

AM I GREAT
a question to start
the mission
working...
without pain or pressure
with the heart in mind
with humility we will reach a point
YES I AM GREAT
LET US START OWNING THE WORLD

we are only as great as we imagine ourselves to be. the only one that is truly great is our creator.

True, when we take more from the world, we have to give back atleast something to the world.

I'd say, lets start belonging in the world! We'd belong when we feel accepted~

I wpould rather say lets start sharing our world with everyone and everything, then perhaps we can say man is great. Thought provoking poem. Bob

Greatness lies in the heart but not in the desire or mind ever!

If the power of man's mind unleashes itself in full might, it would not only own this world but perhaps create another one. Extremely inspirational.

As requested, I have read all 03 poems but commenting on this one- which has given me adequate food for thought! The title is a lesson in itself! All great Conquerors from Alexander to Hitler -have failed to win this world! The great visage of Shelley's- 'Ozymandias' lies half buried in the desert sand! I would request all to KINDLY read this small poem of Shelley! Today Dubai celebrates the inauguration of Burj Dubai to mark the 4th anniversary of their Ruler! I wish the world's tallest building was dedicated to World Peace instead! Book of Genesis tells us that God intervened to stop the building of Tower of Bable because it was built for 'the glory of man'! Let us pause to think! THANKS FOR SHARING 10! -Raj
