Test of Man
What are we capable of, we have no knowledge.
Until pushed to the wall, pushed too thin.
Steroids of power rushing through;
Inside walls of firm unleased space.
Even for trust that seemed so strong,
Broken with one swift harsh push.
Not to be a judge of they that respond,
Until you have walked in those rough shoes.
One final test for all mankind,
To show that we are made to attack;
When crushed to an unending limit,
Where coming back takes all we've got.
