"All Great Men May Not Be Omegas, But All Omegas Are Great Men!"The Bridge Builder An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening, cold and gray, To chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide -- Why build you the bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pit-fall be, He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him." Will Allen Dromgoole
THE FIVE POINTS SYMBOLISM By BRO. N. A. McAULAY (From The Builder, Anamosa, Iowa, October, 1916) Foot to foot that we may go, Where our help we can bestow: Pointing out the better way, Lest our brothers go astray. Thus our steps should always lead To the souls that are in need. Knee to knee, that we may share Every brother`s needs in prayer: Giving all his wants a place, When we seek the throne of grace. In our thoughts from day to day For each other we should pray. Breast to breast, to there conceal, What our lips must not reveal; When a brother does confide, We must by his will abide. Mason`s secrets to us known, We must cherish as our own. Hand to back, our love to show To the brother, bending low: Underneath a load of care, Which we may and ought to share. That the weak may always stand, Let us lend a helping hand. Cheek to cheek, or mouth to ear, That our lips may whisper cheer, To our brother in distress: Whom our words can aid and bless. Warn him if he fails to see, Dangers that are known to thee. Foot to foot, and knee to knee, Breast to breast, as brothers we: Hand to back and mouth to ear, Then that mystic word we hear, Which we otherwise conceal, But on these five points reveal. INVICTUS Out of the night that covers me, Black as a pit from pole to pole, I thank what ever Gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud, Under the bludgeoning of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how straight the Gate How charged with punishment the Scroll; I am the Master of my faith; I am the Captain of my soul. --Ernest Henley SEE IT THROUGH........by Edgar A.Guest When you`re up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it`s vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through! Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim, But don`t let your nerve desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you, See it through! Even hope may seem but futile, When with troubles you`re beset, But remember you are facing Just what other men have met. You may fail, but fall still fighting; Don`t give up, whate`er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish See it through! I been scared and battered My hopes of wind then shattered, Snow has freeze me, Sun has baked me, But it looks like betweeen them they are trying to make me Stop laughing, loving living, But I don`t care. I am still here. A PRAYER FOR OMEGA Gary L. Flowers (2-83-LZ) Oh GOD, as we draw nigh and ask your blessings today, we reflect on the fell clutch of circumstance that brougt us together as friends, molded us into neophytes, and permitted us to seek the great body of wisdom on the circle of life. Oh GOD, we ask that you enlighten us to: exemplify MANHOOD, not based on age, the accumulation of material wealth or disrespect to womanhood, but rather by limiting one`s travels on the wide road of foolishness, so that we as men, live nobly by finding the narrow road of righteousness and responsibility; to value SCHOLARSHIP, not merely as a means of financial prosperity, but rather so we, as scholars, serve as lamps on dark paths of ignorance; to embrace PERSEVERENCE, not with unbridled ambition, but through the undaunted pursuit of dream stars so that we, as industrious men, serve as golden examples of the necessity to hold fast to dreams; and to commit ourselves to UPLIFT, not to establish a debt of gratitude among the less fortunate, but rather so we, as "social engineers", construct a better world. Finally, we ask oh GOD, that you allow us to recognize that OMEGA is an eternal quest; and therefore, all OMEGA MEN are linked by a mutual sense of relativity of purpose and action, requiring us to structure our behavior so that no criticism is levied on OMEGA. As the African proverb states: I am because WE ARE; and because WE ARE, therefore I am. We ask these blessings in honor of our collective ancestors. In particular, we ask in the name of JUST, COOPER, COLEMAN, and LOVE, founders of our beloved organization, the OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INCORPORATED. Amen. OPHELEMA PHILIA PSUKIS ----------------- There once was a man; brought to this land, Whose mission at hand; was to cross the sand. Armored with a shield; and his friends to guide him, A destiny to fulfill; within the soul inside him Knowledge this man; would be seeking & learning, To cross the sand; while it was steaming and burning. This quest; many would love to ponder, Because yes; he`s a son of blood and thunder. An accomplishment to try; for only a few indeed, In fact many will try; but only few will succeed. Because not every man; is a cut above the rest, Expressed by his brand; on his arm or chest. And certainly not 2 mention; his "heart of gold" For he is with no question; a "brother of the soul." For his actions will show; no limit on his potential, Only this man could know; that friendship is essential! Our history has shown us; to be dominant brothers, For we are head and shoulders; above all others. Only to fear; the creator of earth and heaven, And blessed be the year; of 1911 Every man has a purpose; but his shall be greater, And much love for the sisters; of delta sigma theta! For we are the best; anything less than, never, For we are blessed; oh yes, We Are Omega! We Are Omega by Destiny |
