Premium Member On a Clear Day

Fools hop like
wild kangaroos
while real men
take to the pen
and quill
honour has its price
fools will always dance
for free

Pass the Dead Horse

In our psychi
Gallipoli
Phar Lap
Don Bradman
our Ned
lead a Melbourne cup field
of heroes
running a lap of honour
at the MCG.

Premium Member What Would I Know:

If I was to go, 
With dignity, I hope so, 
But what would I know? 
About honour and valour, 
Qualities of a hero!

Within

You don't win me with colossal words
Nor loads of money that's for the herds
Though to honour you so I won't part-
is only love within your heart.

The Best

Best is best work output,
Best is sleepless nights' output, 
Best is passion in action,
Best is honour for hardwork! 

BEST is best of the BEST.

An Existential Prayer

My fair share of toil
Has wiped its own sweat
And life has paid her debt to birth
What remains is honour now
And baptism with the waters of death

Where Beauty Goes

Is the starlight that we see
just remnants
of where it use to be
The light that
with honour given
hangs from her meekest eyelash
stealing every shadow

The Valiant

The valiant advance ahead with grace,
Prefer the death of honour to disgrace,
And they beautify the pages of history,
When waves of tyranny run and race.

Do honour whom, throughout all
Of His starred and daisied works
Did not repeat Himself.
