As Socrates Said

Don’t forget what has been said to men stoiC
It is a shame to not reach the highest you can gO
Some slide into laziness, seal a future bleak and griM
Growth in others calls them to greatness as they rise uP
Refusing to die having not earned their crowd’s extolL
All should strive to see the greatest beauty as they livE
Conquer yourself and win your inner fightT
Ever always straining to be the best you can bE
