A/N: "Mallus, why are you writing stupid unrhyming quote-based poetry when you're supposed to be working on Chapter 5 of 'Take One Breath'?" Unfortunately, dear reader, there is a certain amount of stupid poetry I have to write, or else I will shrivel up and die. Be patient with me!
why?
because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
because he gives you emotional security
because you almost make him believe in luck
because he almost makes you believe in miracles
because he stepped in front and took the thorns himself
because he shall do neither
because he has killed his friend
because he always has been
because he ever shall be
because he is t'hy'la
because you are t'hy'la
because if you hadn't tried, the cost would have been your soul
because it's your responsibility, as surely as if it were your very own
because of this simple feeling
because he is the noblest part
because it is logical
because he never took the Kobayashi Maru
because he asked what you thought of his solution
because you knew it was no solution at all
because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many
because he was the most human.
why?
because all you remember is his name
because his name is Jim
because that is enough.
