One

The mass of people can be deceiving.
It seems to say that there is more than one.
But those who serve mankind best
Do so one at a time.
And these never grow old.
Their words are remembered 
From generation to generation,
And they are spoken by those
Who never knew them,
And this because they were not fooled
Into believing that there is anyone
But the one person before them
​Just here, just now.
