The Manner of Men


The evil and good both have minds of strength

Plans of success

Capabilities of far reaching effect

How do they differ?

 

Education

Diligence

Charisma

and zest

Hallmark the lives of histories' best

How do they differ?

 

The works of the good are as a city park

Open and pleasing they gladden the heart

The deeds of the dreary are narrow and trim

As the cleft of a mountain no light enters in

Cold and dank they weary the soul

'till shriveled and anxious is all they know
