This is how you be hard

Today as I was going about my business, I heard someone pounding.

That's right, pound!

That's how to be Rap, how to be modern and hard!

Pound, bark, be angry!

That's how to be weak, and brittle!

That's how to make your mind weak like a twig!

Yes, weak!

Anger does not make you strong!

For it does not make your body that much stronger

But it makes your mind weak and brittle, to snap like a twig!

It is the soft mind that does not snap and break!

It is the soft mind that is strong, and does not break like a twig!

Your body will not be that much stronger!

So make your mind strong!

You don't want to be tense, and weak, and brittle!

You want to be serene, and strong!

God loves you!  Look to the light!  Love makes your mind strong!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
