Crown of Ignorance

They said it could not be done,
No one dared, not even one.
The jump was death, the risk too high,
A feat no man would dare to try.

Then came a fool from far away,
With no fear to guide him, he leapt anyway.
He ran, he soared, he touched the ground,
Turning his ignorance into a crown.
