A Thank You Poem To the Bravery

I think it's genius when a person can see beyond the veil as they used their gifts in the most creative way, in imperiling the darkness in a jesting way. This is what we call comedy. There are many but few will dare to speak out. The few to speak out are the most noble ones with the heart of a lion. Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle, Kat Williams, Eddie Griffin, Richard Pryor, Jim Carrey, Redd Foxx, Lenny Bruce, Dick Gregory, The Smothers Brothers, There's more, but I would like to say, gratitude for carrying the torch of illumination in exposing the darkness. Thank you for never backing down when the odds were against you as you stared into the face of temptation. Heart pumping faster than a cheater chasing it victim. Blood on the borderline of hypertension. Out of the blue, things became peculiar, and frightening, as their intuition, forewarned them, ahead of time. Leaving them in a state of distress, they became agitated and startled. As these events were unexpected, it lead them, not to trust anyone again, but it was to late. Spiritually, they received their rewards for their bravery and courage deeds. There's only a few of them that still persist, as the hyenas secretly tries to silence them.
