The responsibility


When you knock and They seems not to recognize Your presence; Walk away When your voice is unheard Don't be dismayed;move on When your achievement is worth celebration; But perhaps denigration they give Take it, it's just a job well done In a new form And a stepping stone. In the labor room with your mum Comes ye alone So shall you be adorned In tribulations alone; Move on, Crave not for consolation, For in you bore a nation, You are the greatest Among the greatest You are the world's stern desire Beg not for love, For in you lives love; Plead not for strength, For in you all strength abide Crave not for happiness, For in you lives all. Thy body an aircraft And in you lives the pilot And you alone has the Responsibility, you Must not cease. In you lives ur dreams.
