I haven't done homework in over 30 years. Please. I was looking for inspiration (in all the wrong places, I guess).


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

How about Arthur O'Shaunessy's "Ode." It begins with these famous lines:

"We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems."
