The Brazen

The spirit whispers,
fall upon deaf ears.
They wonder greatly, 
our unfounded fears.
Raise up your courage,
there is ground to stand.
You may not conquer,
but may shake their hand.
The difficult things,
that make who we are.
The enlightenment,
that makes up a star.
Old men live the past,
remember the day.
When they saved the world,
then went out to play!
