having the floor dropped from us
is a test whether we will rise
to the occasion or fall apart
when things don’t go our way, whether or not we have principles
we live by, not customs or circumstantial alliances,
where we gather showing character measured by our common beliefs
where our true friends will
will not turn us away,
that is the only proof
instead of hogging up glory
lets us live by
our most significant truth
finding real proof
of who we are at our low points
if we can stand
together
there will be no way
for us to fall
apart
