Invictus

During my LaSallian days, I remember ourselves being assigned to different teams for various purposes. My designated team was the Lemon Yellow team.

Our team has to compete with other teams in the pursuit of winning... a cellphone housing, as the DLSU Summer Camp Chairman had said. *cheap, you may say...*

We are headed to the top! What keeps us going? The poem "Invictus."

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

P.S.
Go Lemon Yellow team! Let's strive for the best! We can do it!
