Getting your hands Dirty, Planting seeds, Fighting weeds
Working your talent, Selling your talent, Publicizing your talent
Waking up at 4am, Working till 8pm, Stuck in traffic till 10:30pm
Satisfying your spouse, Caring for the Children, Pleasing the in-laws
That is the UGLY - the indignity that comes with living and fighting for your dreams
Loyal and Dedicated but treated like scum
Doing everything right yet despised and hated for it
Trained and Qualified but valued like or below everyone else
Doing everything, Being Responsible for it and treated like an intruder
That is the SMALL - the inordinate reward for all of the sweat and effort put in
You no longer know, how many Times you have done it
Your Skills surpass even your perfectionist tendencies
You have Earned your place through real sweat, effort, tears, pains and joys
You have Changed, you are less stupid and foolish: you can spot a fake a mile away
That is the DIGNITY - the respect and self worth that comes from THE UGLY
You have done it so often; it has become Art in your hands
The most mediocre of your actions, is Valued above the best of others
Your sweat, effort, tears, pain and joys are intricately woven into your Works
You add value to everything and there you are: Informing those, coming after you.
That is the ELEGANCE - the style, good taste and simplicity that comes from THE SMALL
