How Brave



How Brave
How much Pain and Suffering’s
Needed to shape the Brain
And of the blatant Staggering
To supersede Disdain;

And all-denying risky Fall
Just to accelerate,
And of the sudden Take-and-Go
To make a Rushing straight;

And of the Overwhelming bold
Initiate the Rise,
And of the folly Mess of World
To get upgraded Prize;

And then arrange the Aftermath,
Memory keeping safe, -
How much longer will it last,
Knows the Future Brave!..
