Be not afraid of greatness:
some men are born great, some achieve greatness
and some have greatness ****** upon them.

Only thieves and the damaged souls hide:
the intelligent mind knows when to stay
far from the madding crowd
the foolish call it hiding.

It might be said though, that:
Some men are born great fools
Some become great losers
And others go to great lengths to prove
The magnitude of their folly.

Which peers threatens me enough
to incite all the baser instincts
envy, jealousy, hate and ignorance
savage people are ruled by base passion
civilised people by the mind  

I do not profit by spewing lies and untruths
Lies are the mortar that binds the savage individual
man into the social masonry.
I do not spend valuable time trying to put another down
It doesn’t prove anything except that you’re bullies.
Which, as I recall, is a sign of cowardice.

One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and
cruelly mocked, but it can never
be taken away unless it is surrendered
I know without a doubt that it is the bully
with a low self-esteem and not me.
They are trying to pull you down
because they are already below you.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no.
That’s where toughness comes into play.
Toughness is not being a bully. It’s having backbone
You don't look good putting another down
You are insecure, have low self esteem and a coward

And these prized idiots think I have a problem
hahaha....hahaha.....hahaha.....the folly of fools
You have enhanced my greatness
You merely confirm my superiority
