Subtlety, and nonchalant
Brace reality and confront
What needs to be

Arriving at decisions carefully
Meditative & decisively,
But knowing when to be abrupt

Head held high, chin up,
Shoulders squared, 
Ready to face what's in front

Dissected corpses of the past
Left in the lab
Behind the frontal lobe

History is,
Things that have come to pass
And things still yet to unfold
