Stand up n fight with bare hands n teeth
like animals with paws, beaks n grit
Stand up for a cause n dear principles
not money, fame or opportunities
Read between lips and lines
seal own lips and watch your lines
Take others w'out malice n envy
keep a clean slate of karmic deeds
When nothing seems to work,
down in the dumps n weak
be calm & composed when tension strikes
be in self control when others strike
Stay cool n not provoked
bear joy and sorrow alike
sans anxiety n depressions
be at peace with yourself
For self, mind, ego make all these
pray or blame if you do so must
not others, but your deeds n make
God if you seek, find in thee u must
sweet dreams maketh all these
and more only if you will try
take on the system, change the tides
but flow when you must with the streams
Wanna be different or be like others
Run with friends, or outrun the pack
Listen n see with unbiased mind n lens
Cause paradign shifts n steer them thru
you can win-win, these if you can
Born trier
