LITTLE AND BIG by Frank Marshall Davis.

Little people often make big heroes-
From the unknown ranks
Of the population swellers;
From the Jones and Janes distinguished
Only by social security numbers
Giants spring;
Giants whose names
Soon become a familiar taste
in the mental mouths of the world.

Sometimes those born big
Go with a slim sputter
And all the hymns money can buy
Praise hymned in printers’ ink
Cannot magnify
Fizz into boom....
