Edward Sanford Martin Poems
Submit to pressure from your peers and you move down to their level.
Speak up for your own beliefs and you invite them up to your level.
...
A PUBLIC haunt they found her in:
She lay asleep, a lovely child;
The only thing left undefiled
Where all things else bore taint of sin.
...
TO put new shingles on old roofs;
To give old women wadded skirts;
To treat premonitory coughs

The Best Poem Of Edward Sanford Martin
Will The Real You Please Stand Up?!
Submit to pressure from your peers and you move down to their level.
Speak up for your own beliefs and you invite them up to your level.
If you move with the crowd, you’ll get to further than the crowd.
When 40 million people believe in a dumb idea, it’s still a dumb idea.
Simply swimming with the tide leaves you nowhere.
So if you believe in something that’s good, honest, and bright--—stand up for it.
Maybe your peers will get smart and drift your way.
Within my earthly temple there's a crowd;
There's one of us that's humble, one that's proud,
There's one that's broken-hearted for his sins,
There's one that unrepentant sits and grins;
There's one that loves his neighbor as himself,
And one that cares for naught but fame and pelf.
From such corroding care I should be free
If I could once determine whish is me!
