WHEN ONE IS KNOWN
melvin Banggollay
When one is known to all
as tongues calls their name;
Does it mean they implore
Greatness in their name?
One may be popular
So known by all men
Yet it's not a medal
of greatness token.
Many ways we can be
Known to all fellow men
Whatever road we see
Good or evil we've taken.
If we have to build a cake
Touch the cream that makes
You as a man of great honor
Than that hails you with horror.
Greater are those unknown
that shared their life abound
To make God's name be known
To every soul lurking around.
