Today we have few heroes Few live the life of Kings, Few go the extra mile to win The wondrous praise it brings. Most walk the path of averageness Most strive to play it safe, Where convention glides to keynote And contention is a waif.
Nobody pulls the dragon's tail Nobody stretches out, To walk in shoes of restlesness, And lash the Devil's gout. Nobody grasps the horns of hell To cast care to the wind, Nobody sticks their neck out Making ego's soar rescind.
Why do we lie in fallow turf Where textures are so bland? Why do we slouch in listlessness Each idle hand, in hand? Where is the pluck and passion Which allows our pulse to flail? Go find the guts and courage ....TO YANK THAT DEMON DRAGON'S TAIL!
