Out of many...

Because one said so
is it true
who else says it’s so –
do you

because one warrants
you agreed
who else will agree
with thee

because one stands tall
do you stand too
does anyone else stand tall
with you

out of many, one –
(e pluribus unum) –
thirteen letters
scattered some

emblazoned seal
in eagle’s beak
diversified –
it’s you one seeks
to be one day

though many tried –

it’s you the one
most deified.
