Poem
THE UNSUNG HEROISM As long as this Heroism remains Unsung, The miserable shall die miserable, The frustrated shall die frustrated, The disappointed shall die disappointed, And broken hearts shall never mend. Genuine Effort is the Unsung Heroism. It can grant your wishes in your wildest dreams; But most of times, even the best of Genuine Effort fails; And when this happens, life tastes sour. Then you ask yourself mind-splitting questions, Which may never be answered in your lifetime. In such trying times, you may ask, “Is life ever going to taste sweet for me?” Yes. Indeed, there is 'sweetness' beyond measure for you in this life. May you find the great, sacred joy, Which lies in appreciating Genuine Effort, No matter how many times you try and fail. This is the ancient foundation of true happiness, The long-sought inner peace, And the glorious strength to carry on across the Valley of Tears. Where there is Heroism, there is a Hero. If you make Genuine Effort for a dear cause, No matter what happens afterwards, You are a Hero. In your life, you are your own Hero, For no one knows what you want better than yourself; And the decisive power to make Genuine Effort lies in your own hands – Never look for a Hero elsewhere other than within yourself. Emancipate yourself from the mental prison of misery, frustration, disappointment, and broken heart. None but yourself can free your mind, For you alone holds the key to your own prison of dejected thoughts. May time, the greatest teacher of us all, Get it through your hard skull That making Genuine Effort is Heroism, And that whoever makes Genuine Effort is a Hero, Worthy of being sung by legendary poets and poeteses of all generations.
