 Libation

Copyright Robert Fullarton 2014

One must hold his breath

And fear

To speak the truth

Less he may be hated

But be hated

Better to be hated for the truth

Than be loved as a liar

Better to be hated for your integrity

Than to be loved as a fool

Better to be a poor Wiseman in rags

That a rich fool in worldly apparel

Great is he who makes it through the blizzard

and finds reward, for he knows his endurance

 show that his is a character of great resilience
