INVICTUS

 *Inspired By Nelson Mandela

 Out of the Pitts of Darkness, In the Absence Of Light
 where even the faintest smile Glistens, In Spite
 there I give thanks to the Higher Power Abode
 That I, have Inherited this INVICTUS Soul

 Despite the Heavy and Unjust hand that's dealt
 I, have not Give In amongst this Fiery Hell
 the flesh Bludgeoned far through the Gale
 Yet, my Soul Untouched, My Soul Prevails

 Undaunted by the Nights, Black as Sackcloth is
 I, have Endured and Conquered this ship
 even amidst the Horrors and Pains of Day
 I Live On, Undaunted, Unafraid

 Matters Not how Crooked or Narrow the Gate
 I Press forth with Courage, Hope and Faith
 For, I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE
 For, I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY Soul
