Darts
The road to courage: easily found by none,
Forgetting fear, befriending peril - necessary to a 'courageous one' become,
Regularly strangling your mind and the weakness of your heart,
Popping your 'bubble of safety'; exposing your loved ones to Darts.
The Darts of world vary in size,
They very in shape and spur on horrid cries,
Prisoners they take; prisoners of the mind,
Lowering us all and humbling our kind.
They turn us to cowards and beings wholly frail,
Entice us to laziness and catch our dreams in a pail,
Cowardice as their weapon, they dilute our faith,
Scare us from sacrifice and cheapen our race.
