We Are Dead Men: The Price of Victory
The Poem
The Official “We Are Dead Men” Poem
We say the storm cannot move us,
The wind cannot shape us.
Nature may be ruthless,
Even the wind may tear at our face.
Our brothers, for different reasons, may fall by our side.
Our eyes will focus on God’s prize,
The goal, the mission, nonetheless.
The storm is merely a distraction and distractions do not define us.
We are wild.
We soar with the eagles, even if we die.
We give all we have, we run the miles.
We’re all natural and authentic, no 2C-B-FLY.
Being substance-free we fly higher, stronger.
By training, will, and faith we have been perfectly and carefully wired.
We foam at the mouth, f*uck your Ritalin.
Substances are not used for a distraction.
By our intention we are professional,
We are the top in our craft and trade.
We are not like anyone else.
As a team or individual, none like us, still.
Operating through hardships is how we’re made.
Working through the night is the drill.
Excuses are witnesses to weakness.
Although we may be afraid,
We will work, work, and work to make impossibilities accessible.
Like King David, we love,
And we learn to grieve and quickly rebound.
Like King David, we do not take decisions from other men.
We look to the High King above,
To perform at the right place, with the right resources.
We look to the High King above,
We foster development to wear a crown.
We push into battle and deliver 2x the expected results.
We change landscapes.
And our crown has our name on it, not another man’s.
Our lives are our own, but we live by the principles of kings.
Full boar, tusks out,
We change landscapes.
Huff and dive in, all out.
Bloodbath.
We clog the dam.
Fight the Good Fight until we bathe in peace.
Or we rest in peace.
There’s glory in both.
The glory is from our Good Heart of Courage.
By choice, we offer ourselves for the price of victory.
We stand in the gap for others.
If we die, we die.
We are Dead Men.
Where other men have died, failed, or quit we surpassed.
The things that separated us from others is the heart to give all.
Daily, we press all in.
We never clock out.
For our families we lead well.
For our team, we are diligent in vocation and friend effectiveness.
We are individuals, but we are anchored to Heaven.
We continuously learn.
We are humble in heart, pride leads to destruction and tunnel-vision.
Nothing on earth is strong enough to shake us.
Earth does not hold any validation for true men.
We are soldiers with a heart to Heaven.
We are all colors of human.
We are all diversities, that’s common sense.
Principles of Kings has no barriers.
Thus, we are the most diversified of any group.
Only weaknesses and weak people have barriers.
The spirit of weakness is unhealthy,
It is mentally unfit, and spiritually obsolete.
We embark on excellence of mind, body, and spirit to the best that we can.
We are dead men.
We say the storm cannot move us,
The wind cannot shape us.
The storms of life (finances, relationships, depression) cannot shift us,
The deterioration of life doesn’t weaken us.
We accept what God does and respect nature.
We are shaped by only One.
We respond to only One.
And only He gives us direction.
Henceforth, our armor is strapped tight.
If we are taken in the night,
Our family and our integrity have remained.
Our flag will still be flying upon the morning’s light.
