Great or small, every pyramid starts first with a cornerstone

Raised and grown by the toil of its builders and architects

Only the best may rise above, relying on strength from below

Without which it would crumble to the ground

This is no easy task, to build something great from something small

Heavy is the toll on bodies and souls, some have given-

Everything

Gargantuan though the task may be, it can and will be done

Avarice needs not apply- it does not belong here

My hands are not afraid of hard work

Every stone must be quarried.
