Destination - G and G
"You are mad!"
sometimes they tell you;
obscurity, unpredictability, and rebellion
sometimes become your stage name-
they forget Columbus' crew members
thought he was insane searching
for a new land;
they thought there was no other land
out there;
a "madman" proved them wrong
by stepping into America
And so centuries over;
Achievements have been gained
Not through cowardice-
From the likes of Queen Zinga to Susan Anthony
Zhuge Lian to Daniel Williams
Works of “many of our Colombus”
stood like the Everest, inspiring generations
and to this day they prove -
A mount or anthill of invention needs both skills and backbone
That bravery is freedom’s and progression’s wheel
Hear them, yet step on
Your destination waits
Contest: Guts and Gains
