don't be like us

we expect too much

from people.

presidents and kings,

priests

and cops.

we don't want them to be

like us.

we want them to be better.

to live

their lives

at a higher level.

without scandal.

we want to trust.

it's an impossible thing

to do.

and yet we expect

so much from them.

much more than we do

with me

and you.
