When you get what you want in your struggle for self, And the world makes you king for a day, Then go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that man has to say. For it isnt a mans father, mother or wife, Whose judgement upon him must pass, The fellow whose verdict counts most in life, Is the man staring back from the glass. Hes the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, For hes with you clear to the end, And youve passed your most dangerous, difficult test, If the man in the glass is your friend. You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass, But the final reward will be heartache and tears, If youve cheated the man in the glass. This poem was found written on a wall of a cell in death row. It was composed by an anonymous prisoner who was later executed.
