One Multiplies

The loneliest number, until the end.

Can one become what it could not be?

Can one proclaim what it could not see?

Can one escape what it could not flee?

Can one begin when it can not agree?

Can one expand with fit and spree?

     Can one multiply in any degree?

Can one discover what is wild and free?

     Can one offshoot construct the tree?

Can one

     become much more than just a plea;

     who begs for something without a fee,

     like enduring a stormy ghost at sea,

     who makes the waves scatter debris,

     and keeps the whole under unity,

     every piece away under lock and key,

     where one aims to erode all futility;

One can,

When one is one 

                            among many,

When one is one 

                            among many, one can!

One can,

When one is one 

                            among many,

When one is one 

                            among many, one can!

One can,

When one is one 

                            among many,

When one is one 

                            among many, one can!

One can,

When one is one 

                            among many,

When one is one 

                            among many, one can!

When many are one among many,

                                                        many, can be many among one.
