Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

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 like it. By the way, if you end a line with two spaces, like this It continues on the next line without starting a new paragraph. You can render the stanzas correctly that way. And at the end of a stanza, you can start a new paragraph in the normal way to have more blank space in between.

The insanity in the USA now can give you a headache.
The very same Americans who say that the elites want to kill off the 99% then turn around and scream the globalists must be obeyed.
Americans think that the US would be safe if protests, churches, newspapers, guns, toothpicks, football, coffee were banned paradise were banned and seatbelts, masks, helmets were mandatory
paradise
safe Nazi
mental legitimate
North Korea
free country
Do Americans realize that slaves are no better than beasts?
Americans are completely retarded and enslaved now.
Americans will look you in the eye and say that being closed-minded and embracing Communism is better than learning about the benefits of freedom and the dangers of tyranny.
Americans scream that the Gestapo should shoot unarmed Americans in the back and slash tires.
Americans make up any fact to fit their narrative and insist that Jews are never arrested.
Americans swear that the elites don’t want to kill off the 99%, but why do the globalists promote abortion, birth control, suicide, homosexuality, immorality, wars, debt, tyranny, offshoring, illegal immigration, and welfare?

Correct. Muskrat may be a degenerate cum dumpster, but at least he posted something above standard quality here.

God grant Muskrat the serenity
To accept the things Muskrat cannot change;
Courage to change the things Muskrat can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as Muskrat would have it;
Trusting that He will make things right
If Muskrat surrenders to His Will;
So that Muskrat may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
Amen. These are words the Muskrat lives by. I think you'd do well to do the same.
