Poems
Sep 2011
the crack of thunderheads
death would be easy
you’re right
but it’s for cowards
and weaklings and
fearful men
death is not an option
for the men who are destined
to do great things
the only choice
for them is how far their
journey will take them
and how hard their
path will
be
those meant
to go down in history
books all know it
they don’t discuss it
neither are they ever
entirely sure of their
fate
they know though,
they know they don’t get
to choose when their
work ends, only
where
so in a way,
death isn’t
easier
to ask the future
legends of humanity
to end themselves
too soon
that is an impossible
task
let nobody convince
you otherwise
