Stay Strong Brothers

Don't let pride Guide your stride Instead take a ride On the straight and narrow And let righteousness be your row Down the river we know as life Speak with peace not strife Speak with a feather not a knife Speak with grace not spite Speak to reason and not to fight Lead not to dominate and feed Lead to sow a fruitful seed Love not for lust for your heart will rust Love because it's just Lay your anchors so you don't wither Lay your anchors so you don't dither Live to cure and create Live to edify and elevate Live not to harm and hate Give not for your greed Give for your brothers' need Don’t let the wicked vex you with malice Don’t let the wicked lure you into their twisted palace Don’t let the wicked make you drink from their bloodstained chalice Sit atop a high ground not for vanity Sit atop a high ground so you can watch and guard every sea Know that fantasy juxtaposes reality Know that the steadfast will strengthen and last Know that the famous are often vacuous Know that blight follows those who slither in the night A dove glides with love A raven plummets with sin Go and reach out of your arm’s range Go and instill a positive change Love your mothers Listen to your fathers Stay strong brothers
