Foray into the unknown, unfettered, not forlorn,
Cut through the foliage of uncertainty with your machete's grit,
Embrace the light that sneaks through scattered shards of fear
Stay the course while you engage with vainglorious scorn
Confront Adversity as if you read a fairy tale well-knit
Select some characters to lend a hand your path to clear
Bestow gifts of passion from your soul's war-chest of corn
Fracture long-held belief, tradition, myth, and writ
Curate the fair, the true, the kind and make them safe and dear
For those who come behind alive or not yet born
For those who want to rise but think they are not fit
For those who don't want to believe that the world's end is near.
