Wars Within
If you want to be a winner,
stop learning from a loser.
Bearers of treasured tools
do not fraternize friendly fools.
If you choose to be a champion,
operate not on public opinion.
Small men who became giants
did not strive with soldier ants.
If you want to be a conqueror...
first fight the folk in the mirror.
The wars without are easy to win
when we conquer the ones within.
