Uncommon Courage

When does one rash courage summon To do a thing quite uncommon Like king David's son, Amon: The negatively uncommon One wouldn't link with Solomon Nor with the Quite Normal Human With no business with Mammon ? Carthage's Hannibal against Rome, When snow should have kept him at home? The courage one would never kill, Until one has climbed Begging Hill; While one won't want at all to feed, Because there's a voice one must heed... From either Lord God or Mammon And one ready for uncommon; Listened I have to a Carmen: A hit track about true women The penetrating look from their eyes Up a lot of men's power dries.
