His Dauntless Courage

To stand for truth, and take no guff.
                  To fly like an elegant eagle in the storm.
                  Oh, give me courage to be just like him.
                  To fight for truth and keep it warm!

Those who stand for truth, are duly punished. But I will anyway. Your peers ignore you. This happens here, sorry to say. They will cheer you on only if you write about pretty, funny or love topics. Freedom means nothing hereOnce it's gone, they won't get it back. People do not know history . They want Cartoons of the real lives we live in. Even mass media are liars of the first nature You stand for truth? Be prepared to be attacked or duly ignored Thanks, Regina

Standing up for truth and injustice never following the crowd. Too many sheep in the world. Tom

"To fly like an elegant eagle in the storm" is such a rich metaphor, Pangie. There will be storms ahead, and storms even now; may we soar through them with courage and the elegance of eagles, standing and fighting for truth. Well said, poetess. ~ John
