WANA~BE

then i saw Mandela
world's number one man of substance
the very epitome of good governance
protagonist of every story teller
and guess what it had on me?
i signed up a wana~be

then i saw Bill
not Clinton but Gate
a nerd who has dollar for a date
i prayed to feature in his will
and guess what it had on me?
i signed up a wana~be

then i saw woods
the wild in the domestic field of golf
preys on flocks of medals like a wolf
grins from chin to chin in all moods
and guess what it had on me?
i signed up a wana~be

now time is gone and spent
having within the shades of figuers i admire
and the true me dashed in the mire
unfulfiled and deserted in this tent
when the truth dawned on me
a wana~ be will never be
no one wana be like a wana~be

so this is from me to thee
you rather be you than a wana~be
