Roar outside the jungle
May every step be your test as if you own the street
Put your flag at half mast for all the suffering
Stomp your feet
Let injustice sweep a broken mast
A broken cast mends none
So, roar against the winds
Never stop
Let the echoes live for centuries for those who grasp distinction of voice
If persistence is all you're given to work with then be proud anyway
If hunger be your cloak, shed it

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Good job! I especially liked the "let the echoes live for centuries" line. Very powerful, as Dana said.
Powerful words!
