"SU GRAN ANIMAL"

Dicen que si usted es
Confrontado por
Un león o un oso,
Nunca actue con miedo.
En su lugar actue como
El animal más grande
Y que ellos son
La liebre
De lo que eres
Para hacerlos llorar.
Esto ha sido
Probado
Y comparado.
Así es como los presidentes
Son amados
Y temidos.
Cada uno de nosotros tiene un animal
Entre nosotros
Que está armado con
Mental,
Físico o
Regalos Espirituales
Eso podría disparar lanzas
A través del aire.

Así que la próxima vez
Que te enfrentes en
Una pelea que parece injusta,
Sólo recuerde el león y el oso.
AUMENTAR
Tu mayor animal
Y todo lo que sientes en tu magnificencia
Rápidamente este se alejará
Y desaparecera.
