Courage


A man there

waits for one

to help him,

trusting man,

human love

untouched by

squalor and

pain in death,

something now

that does not

exist in

practice, but

in theory,

true courage

is needed

to believe

such barren

practices,

but, trusting

no one is

only too

easy, too

used and too

cliche, true

love, true trust

requires

Courage
