The Lie of Courage



When I think of everything we all go through 

The pain and bitterness which cause some to sue

I am struck by the leveled beauty of those who don't

For no amount of money can make up the affront ..



Those who let it all ride, get, from me, great respect

For there is no real winner, in this the ultimate test 

But there are winners in the minds of those who pass

As their own ethics are, by their mind, brought to task
