9. IF YOU ARE SUPREME

If you are great,
Then show me your face.
I want to examine your face.

If you are good,
Then show me your eyes.
I want to examine your eyes.

If you are divine,
Then show me your heart.
I want to examine your heart.

      But
If you are supreme,
Then examine me.
I shall definitely
      Equal you.
Just give me a chance,
      That’s all.
