The Fellowship of the Outstanding
by Jason Tomlinson

Excellence is contagious - let my next level spur yours

the fellowship of the outstanding is strong it endures

through all the half-measures put out by all the losers around

talkers with no backing action unfortunately abound

but rippling echoes disrupt the patterns 
	that would malign and weigh down

and the wonder of excellence shows up to lay the ground

excellence among us continues to have its way

may the channels of brilliance burst forth 
	and the night ripped apart by day
