Kicks from all sides the poor is to meet.
Each team carries it to the goal of opponent
This homeless has no place permanent.”

"All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest."
(H.W. Longfellow in The builders)
