unbeatable foeTo bear the unbearable sorrowTo run where the brave dare not goTo write the unwritable wrongTo be better far than you areTo try when your arms are too wearyThe reach the unreachable starThis is my quest, to follow that starNo matter how hopeless,No matter how farTo fight for the rightWhithout question or pauseTo be willing to march into hellFor a heavenly causeAnd I know if I'll only be trueTo this glorious questThat my heart will be peaceful and calmWhen I'm laid to my restAnd the world would be better for thisThat one man scorned and covered with scarsStill strove with his last ounce of courageTo reach the unreachable starmusic by Leigh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hiya kids.
