Conversation with Courage

Conversation with Courage

 

One Nation under the courageous efforts of man

Our strongest endeavors are founded by courage

My name is courage!

If you find enough courage you can do anything

Life force listens to the voice of courage,

On the brink, when death is near

Your most intimate friend is fear,

But if you have enough courage you will live forever

Writers and poets will recognize your courageous effort

And write your song of experience.

The strongest substance on earth

Has been the ink in the pen of a writer,

Words of courage tell stories of martyrs

Immortalizing proud dead with unflinching courage

The slightest touch of my pen will make you live

Forever, these indelible words are an army

At my back, filled with the uneraseable,

Unflinching immortalized regiments, Vietnam soldiers

Victims of terrorism from nine eleven,

Mad Bomber dead of Oklahoma City,

All mark time in step with four-star generals

Of my army of courage, Martin Luther King commands.

My brave cavalry of JFK, Joan of Arc,

 Abraham Lincoln and Jesus sit atop

The four horses of the apocalypse, reigning in the end

Of time with all their courage,

As you stand at the brink of death, I will be with you

If you have courage, you will join the ranks of the immortal

Army of courage, look deep inside,

Find the strongest human emotion, write

With the blackest ink to turn the weakest pawn into a Queen,

Our words written of these immortals will march over the earth

Until courageous lives are hammered indelibly in history

There will be no end of time if you have enough courage

There will be no starvation if you have enough courage

There will be no war if you have enough courage,

The courage to resist the end is within everyone,

 If you just have enough courage
