The Harsh Truth


Jittering just at the thought

Of another brilliant day,

Up and higher, is the only direction

Realistically, for me.

Never a dull moment,

Always filled with adventure;

Loving every minute as

If it were my last,

Sights to see, secrets

Must be unraveled.


Intuition, Persistence and

Savvy are all necessary traits

 

Mightier is the pen than the sword

Yet the world will not know till now

 

Daring to fly where eagles never dared

Revealing the devastating news and

Eloquently hidden horrors;

Amidst all the world's chaos

Melodious truth shall be heard.

 

Justice shall be served, evil will cower.

Of course, this would mean everything to me,

Becoming the world's enlightener.
