Written by Jacob Ibrag
Crowds led by those who preach to preach. They know
no more than those who speak to speak. Pray for adversity,
it’s the cornerstone for growing an identity. To understand
what you’re willing to die for is to be inherently free.

Adversity builds are character as we look back at the hard times and realize that during the dark valleys it shaped us into who we are today. Great poem.
