Courage
Steve Rogers was a commoner, desiring to be a soldier.
After a few disappointing initial failures he got selected
for the super soldier unique experiment in the US military.
Vita-rays and serum injection made him strong and brave.
He toured the country in colorful costumes of adornment
during the WW II time in the fund raising campaigns.
For his patriotic endeavor during the national exigency
he was very proud to be designated as Captain America.
From a frozen aircraft over the Arctic during the war
the Nazi General, Schmidt, named as crafty Red Skull,
stole a weird relic, Tessaract, having an untold godly power,
that he wanted to harness to change the entire world.
Captain America performed an act of fabulous courage
when he could alone free all the distressed prisoners of war
by infiltrating furtively the fortified Nazi fortress,
built within the Hydra base by the notorious Red Skull.
To stop the use of the weapons of mass destruction,
Schmidt was attacked by Rogers inside his super aircraft.
Facing the disgraceful defeat and fearing to be captured,
Red Skull used the mysteriously powerful Tesseract to escape.
The energy of the bizarre contraption opened a wormhole
that sucked into it the body of the Nazi General.
The aircraft crashed in the icy waters of the Arctic sea,
the superhero Rogers was untraced, Red Skull vanished in space.
Leading from the front and facing the danger without wavering,
Captain America symbolizes bravery in physical and moral spheres,
conveying that valor entailing heroism isn’t the absence of fear,
but a reminder that true courage forges the might of a hero.
