Ben Franklin
As he is known to the world,
Is brilliant,
Innovative,
Admired.
Americans used to know him that way too,
I sacrifice much,
I try hard.
On to bare minimums I clutch,
So that you won't be scarred.
I give you my share,
I let you have your fill.
I give you my care,
I pay the emotional bill.
