I have to keep these tired eyes open, <br />And trudge along some more, <br />I have to safegaurd your 'morrow, <br />Till we come to the ultimate dawn. <br />I am the guardian of many truths, <br />And the epitome of magnificent pledges, <br />I have evolved to reach the echelons <br />From the very grit which many spurn. <br />I am chastity, I am truth, <br />I am honor, I am the rule; <br />I am the embodiment of Faith, <br />The follower of the blessed paved. <br />I reach not for shining rocks; <br />My eyes are set upon the stars, <br />I care not for your tuppence gold, <br />My spirit is worth a million czars. <br />My gaze is tamed, my tone mellow, <br />But my strenght is true, my mettle fallow.... <br />I am a watchful, tolerant soul; <br />Not judging, not deceiving, <br />Not edacious, not conceited... <br />Such is me, <br />The Muslim born...<br /><br />wardha jawdat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-we-be/
