All the world may disown you <br />And fate may let loose her hounds of hunger <br />The gods may guide you to ruin <br />And throw you down the cliff of criticism <br />Your friends may sell your friendship <br />To the slaughterhouse of deceit <br />And love, your queen, may divorce you- <br />Yet amidst the breaking world <br />You can stand unshaken <br />And emerge a victor <br />If only you muster faith- <br />Faith in yourself, faith in the divine.<br /><br />Komarraju Venkata Vinay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/musings-by-sea-faith/
