Yoni Dvorkis Poet Nonet

The Audacity of Honesty (Quality of a True Hero)

In an age of emotional strife
         nothing could be more heroic
                 than knowing when to admit
                        you're wrong, listening to
                              the better angel
                                   who guides you through
                                       divisive
                                          raging
                                            thoughts.
