Manifestation

Foremost apex bird leading the flock flight United to run the race and fight the fight Apache, Comanche, Samurai, knight Choosing to keep victory in mind and sight Tearing through the darkness till we behold light March by day, sojourn by night And because we solely rest upon God’s might Only being head and not tail feels right Bracing the weather, weathering the storm We give and take as we take form Change is our preserve as we preserve righteous norm Moment’s heat in a cold world somehow feels warm As happenings and deeds feed how our deeds perform In life’s seesaw arena we sow to see what will blossom From middles and ends, we claim the whole portion by portion We mark and eke out our ideals and a nation Advancing, withstanding and wearing off resistance With passion, conviction and insistence Feeding on virtue and denying sin any dalliance Overcoming evil with good and rebellion with reverence Fruitfulness ousts empty occupation and nonchalance And so we emerge from the dull trenches with a radiance With a baffling lustre, poise and stance Affording a gaze where we couldn’t beg a glance K.
