    Poem:
    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too:
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
    Or being hated don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
    If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim,
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same:
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    ⁠And never breathe a word about your loss:
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    ⁠Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much:
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    ⁠And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

    I’d put money on that isn’t Freeman reading, which irks me not because it isn’t him but because whoever it is did a damn good job but is robbed of credit, or worse: they are aware and would rather be an imposter than genuine in their talent and that’s just all kinds of sad.

      He does indeed. I was sure looking forward to hearing him read Kipling’s poem, but alas; we’re lied to by an imposter. Everyone should give this a thumbs down and request that this be removed. Neither Kipling nor Morgan Freeman would approve of such a sham.

      ​@@patagualianmostly7437 This isn't a reading by Morgan Freeman. Whoever it is, they're close, but there are elements to it that (for me anyway) gave it away almost instantly. For one, the depth and timbre is wrong. More than that though is the slight lisp this person adds to their S's.
      Close, but not Morgan Freeman.

Somehow reading it yourself and not that having someone interpreted for you if you don't understand something ass someone but there's nothing like reading a poem at home and interpreting it yourself so I'm going to find the poem It's spectactulat

    "Or walk with King, nor loose the common touch." I woof this part so much. If you can talk to Kings, or Queens, and keep your virtue, and teach them the way you always do, that's the time when you'll be a man, Son.

    Jesus Christ is Lord! Every eye shall see, Every knee will bow and confess Jesus Christ is Lord!
    Luke 17:28-30 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
    29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
    30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
    Repent while you have a chance. Accept Jesus as your Lord and savior...... I know most will mock, but this is why the Bible said
    Ecclesiastes 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
    For the fool says there is no God. The byproduct is that same fool returning to his folly, as a Dog to its vomit.
