Role Model Poem by Ali Farah

Role Model



Greatness is not how high you fly in style
Nor it is how big is your chauffeured limo car
But it is how often you bend your back to help
And how far will you stretch your hand to assist

Bravery in not how many you kill with bombs
Nor it is how big territory you have conquered
But it is how continually you speak for the oppressed 
And how far will you risk your life for justice

Intellect  is not how many degrees you have in the office
Nor it is how big are your refined  words in a speech
But it is how well you communicate with the layman 
And how far will you listen to understand the street talk
