Parkour poem

Just found this on a parkour forum, it is someone's signature.
I think something short and simple like this would be perfect for an introduction, not too verbose but it gives an insight as to why traceurs practice what they do and almost like a uniting mission statement/maxim. If we want something like this perhaps between us we could come up with something similar though I'm not sure it should be altered for the sake of it; and I might be better e-mailing the author and asking for the right to use it and credit them?

"The World. My Playground.

The Streets. My Home.
The Architecture. My Inspiration.
The Fear. My Motivation.
The Sweat, the Scars, the Pain. My Proof.
My Name. Traceur."

-Casey Kandel
