Anyway
by Reginald West</i>

People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered.
        Love them anyway...
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
        Do good anyway...
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
        Succeed anyway...
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
        Do good anyway...
Honest-and-frankness make you vulnerable.
        Be honest-n-frank anyway...
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
        Build anyway...
People need help but may attack you if you help them.
        Help people anyway...
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
        Give the world the best you've got anyway...
I just received a letter (along with a mess o' new poems) from Reginald West, the author of this amazing, previously uncredited, amazing poem. Hooray.

If you would like to write him, here's how:
