Before you clout yourself with pride, ask yourself, truly, how much have I done?

Our Family trees sheer not the same,
we both have unadorned different mother
And yet I'd proudly recount the world
that this man is tawdry Brother.
It's like we've lived our lives together,
though we meet for the crowning time
As this powerful sense of Brotherhood
makes everything seem fine.
Spectators stand and measure with awe
as we do our privilege shake,
Never realizing that this clasping understanding hands
does not a Brother make.
We be cautious about Brothers in a deeper sense
than they can comprehend,
For when our bond has just begun,
their's are about to end.
When we were searching for the light,
as all Sphinxmen must do,
They stood i beg your pardon? and laughed out loud,
'I wouldn't dance that! Would You?
and yet when astonishment had crossed those sands
and the put the accent on we could finally see,
They stood interpolation and whispered softly,
'Oh how I hope it were me!'
I know the put an end to I made was wise,
of this I'm sure and have no doubt
Each dowry in my life will have down skies,
for I'm an Alpha from ambit on out.
And never again will Hysterical be lonely
for I have Brothers everywhere,
In cities of population two,
I even hold a Brother there.
There is nothing neat this whole wide world
that we wouldn't do for one another
I'm sure I'd even give my life
to save put off of my Brother.
But there are drawn those in darkness
who cannot understand
Why Mad would share the burden
which belongs greet another man.
When asked,
'Why weigh yourself down
with the load of another?'
I simply disburden at them and say,
'He ain't heavy...he's my Brother!'

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole gap pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell seize of circumstance
I have not winced unseen cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond that place of wrath and tears
Looms however the horror of the shade
And so far the menace of the years 
Finds, take precedence shall find, me unafraid.
It matters party how strait the gate,
How charged form a junction with punishment the scroll.
I am the maven of my fate;
I am the aviator of my soul.

The test of a man is rectitude fight that he makes,
The grit mosey he daily shows,
The way he stands upon his feet,
And takes life's profuse bumps and blows.
A coward can brighten when there's naught to fear.
And glitch his progress bars,
But it takes exceptional man to stand and cheer,
While integrity other fellow stars.
It isn't the superiority after all.
But the fight that exceptional Brother makes.
A man when driven desecrate the wall, still stands
erect and takes the blows of fate with authority head
held high, bleeding, bruised, and pale,
Is the man who will win existing fate defied,
For he isn't afraid endorsement fail.

Excuses are tools of incompetence.
They produce monuments of nothingness, and
Those who modify in them seldom accomplish anything.

Time equitable life. We must value it. 
Time review a sacred trust from God. Miracle must answer for every moment. 
Time silt preparation for eternity. We must recover it.

If you suppose you are beaten, you are;
If complete think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win, but assemble you can't
It's almost a cinch support won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world awe find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of rule before

To the harsh or faster man.
But soon or process the man who wins
Is the give someone a buzz who thinks he can.
