Important, or interesting, or special
Like queen, quality, and question

that much hair
this many books read

I refuse to kowtow to numbers
For my quality cannot be quantified.

Come, comrade.
Let us start this
revolution.
Let us question and

Let us overthrow,
rebuild, and prosper.

it’ll come
when it’s
