Your talent is limited.
You don’t write well.
You lack in charisma and charm.

You’re not very practical.
No serious money.
Your confidence – cause for alarm.

Your vision is cloudy
You’re often distracted
Your connections are few and diffused.

But the world needs saving
And there are so few who care.
My greatest hope is in you.

This poem was inspired by the preview visual, "...Brucaliffo" taken by Italian photographer Romeo (dA artist ~DualLayer).

I know that the tone of the photo is far from the tone of the witten piece, but I think it helps to represent the fact that any of us --dirty, slow, unimaginative, crazy, beautiful, lazy, thin, poor, plump or discouraged people -- can make the difference in our shared future.

Romeo styles himself as a nude photographer, but his gallery contains a variety works...all of them interesting and of good quality. I look for more good things to come from Romeo's Milan studio.
