It Matters

Well, I just did a poem for a report, and I'm just posting this up for a critique“It Matters”
(A Hero’s Traits)
By KamageThe past has
what the present will never surrender.What matters if the sun has always risen?
What matters is:
The sun risesWhat matters if man has been glorious?
What matters is:
There is still GloryWhat matters if the world has been conquered?
What matters is:
The Heavens are still beyond our reachNo matter what:
give us not our salvation;
give us nothing.We who will conquer the sun
resent all charity.We proclaim our right to glory.
We demand the right to create empiresWhat matters is:
What matters to man.And a man matters
What a Man matters.And Man decides:
what matters.Oh wait, I forgot a little something:
Head Count!
Use Your Head!
All Hands on Deck!
Take the Wheel!
Pass me a Coke!What matters is:
I followed the Directions.

That last part is part of the poem right? If so it doesn't sync well with the whole theme...
And also I didn't really get into the first line
But that's just me. Good work.

I just wanted the directions to ahve as little part of it as possible, we had to include five synechdoches, and of course I just put it at the end, and made a smart comment to my teacher"What Matters is:
I followed the Directions"only because I didn't actually include the Synechdoches in the real poem
