“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
Ayn Rand (1905-1982), Atlas Shrugged
Poetry by Dee
Young Atlas
Independence is a yoke
A burden that has to be carried
Heave, my child, heave
For your dreams
For your wants
For your needs
They are not easy to achieve
But nothing is beyond your reach
Spin your world
Watch it revolve and evolve
With different sets of looking glass
Absorb all you can
Discover how you can
Learn what you can
It is not easy to accomplish
But you have all the needed means
Suspend your fears
Fly high with your young wings!
