The Avengers

The laws are the secret avengers,
And they rule above all lands;
They come on wool-soft sandals,
But they strike with iron hands.

Outwitted

He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

- Edwin Markham

Preparedness

For all your days prepare,
And meet them ever alike:
When you are the anvil, bear —
When you are the hammer, Strike.

- Edwin Markham
