I need help finding some inspirational poems or poems where people prevail, or even fail under pressure, the poems can be from ancient Greece/Rome, or Africa, Asia, or Native American.

Help will be greatly appreciated!

Is Walt Whitman native Amercan in this context? And if not, what is he?

Try a search engyn site. Type in "Roman Poems" or "Greek Poems" or whatever your looking for. Also, you local or school library most likely has some poetry books. Tell the person at the front desk what you're looking for. I'm sure the person would be glad to help you. If worst comes to worst and you cant find the poems you're looking you can always go to www.amazon.com and puchace a poetry book. This project is going to require some hard work and effort but in the end you will be rewarded. But you have to apply your slef.
