Terra Incognita
He had a dream in the still of the night,
Someone beckoned on him,
Someone implored him to come,
He looked distressed and troubled.
He was worried
He knew it was an urgent plea,
But it was a place no one had ever been,
It was a place shrouded in mystery.
Many had tried to go,
Many as such who was entreated to come,
They didn’t succeed,
They could only go as far as its boundary.
He summoned courage,
He took alongside other men,
Those with fiery hearts who had sworn an oath.
Who had pledged an allegiance to a worthy course.
They embarked on the journey,
They broke through and prevailed,
They conquered and subdued,
They brought light into the town.
The town was revolutionized,
The men were immortalized.
