Sensing a threat, move not a bit;		
Wait not for a hero to come;			
Summon your powers to face it.			
Sensing a threat, move not a bit;		
Solve it using your human wit;			
This way, a hero you become. 			
Sensing a threat, move not a bit;	 		
Wait not for a hero to come.

Srinivas, this made me think of a snake about to strike. We're told to be perfectly still so it won't attack. I don't know if I could do that for very long. Congrats on your win in my contest! Blessings, Kim M
