Legacy

People don’t want to listen when I speak of struggle and pain 
 
But these are apart of nature like the wind, the sun, and rain

Choose your doors and turn the key

Accept what comes your way so humbly

Develop your ears to hone in on the rumble 

When the earth breaks underfoot, trust you won’t crumble

Stand your ground and focus your eyes  

Shift your weight to mobilize 

Your body is a temple, your mind a god

Some would say that this sounds odd

And how so? I would answer. you have power within 

Power so great that you just might win

To fight like you’re dying and there’s no other way 

Condition your mind and body to bend and obey

Strike with precision and right to the heart

For your memory in the world to never depart
