THE BRAVE ONES BY HAMID GBAWURU MARAH
The Brave Ones (The Braves)
When cowards will run away
Scrambling in search of easy ways
True men will stay.
They appreciate doing it the hard way
They never stop believing as to a true God they pray
Steadfast; their conviction, principles and values never sway
They will lift their heads up to their mighty maker and say
Lord grant us the strength to save the day.
When cowards will form a cabal like a mosaic
Pursuing ‘easy go, easy come’ – their fundamental rubric
The braves will face the music
They will take the heat
They will dance to the rough beat
They will clean the sheets
They will never back down, bitter or sweet
And they will come out standing tall and neat
No wonder, in the end, brave men are always the big hits.
Someone must bring about the change; but who?
Those who run away relying on the efficiency of their shoe?
All that matters to most men is the good life, riches and being the beau
But from the seven heavens and earth, they deserve the loudest boo…
And that too!
When cowards will vanish into the dew
Avoiding their natural challenges and wander into the blue
Brave men will stay put like glue
Oh…how much shame there is in abandonment, cowards lack even a clue
But great men follow their heart, to it they stay true
For they understand so well that hard times don’t last, hard men do
What cowards are is the direct opposite of a “Scouter”
They measure up as doubters
They live only for today and that’s that…
But brave men are no deserters
They are true fighters
When the blade of time gets sharper
They still find the courage to hold on tighter
Their loyalty and honour forever shine brighter
As every other man, they harbour fears
As every other being, they shed tears
But at best they understand this world as ‘the braver, the mightier’
It’s such an honour to be the last samurai, the final musketeer
For as we hold our grounds, one day the future will become clear
All actions will pay-off, and every man his share.
