Pick Up Your Gear, Keep Riding
When all things go down
and from your head is taken the crown
what you need to do is first calm down
things are about to turn around.
Greatness is not how much you gain
or how often you always aim.
It is the good you make of your name
regardless of how much is your fame
For something to be better
means some parts to it are bitter.
With wisdom look into the matter
and make your chances greater.
What you need now is a plan
steping up to be a man,
not like one who from his duties ran
but like one whose name shall never fall to the sand.
