EVERY MORNING by W. Mahlon PurdinReach down inside
Grapple with the world
With the wrongs and wiles
Change everything
Fight it out for principle
Never waver, never compromise
Total victory is the only outcome
Be ruthless, be vicious, be relentless
Allow the enemy no quarter
Insist on total, absolute surrender.
Then emerge smiling.
You have groomed yourself
For a new day.
You have changed the world.
