Mark my words
There is no nobility, by birth..
Which is not followed up …by action…
Unworthy men…
Often boast …of conquests
But fail to measure up …to task…
When faced …directly, with sacrifice…
Threatens all which they hold dear.
A man or woman might face defeat
At every turn …yet never yield…
Nobility, gives sense of purpose
To the undisciplined mind…
No, honor… by word or oath…
Unproven, by deed
