Sonnet Xxxv: When You Speak 1 - Right Wing

When you speak, Do not speak of your Woes Without telling us of the Goal Do not sadden us with the tale of your Troubles Without following it up with the tale of your Trophies It is useless to display before us your Scars If you will not intimate us with its Stars. After every successful training comes promotion So help our youthful minds Do not tell us of Labours like they are fruitless Do not tell us you suffered When actually it wasn’t imposed on you But came to you on the path you chose to pursue. So that we know, Challenges on the path to success are worthwhile.
