The Elusive Word Poem by Krazy Rae

Freedom is found in all men's
heart. No one is born
without that desire. The
desire to be able to
live without being controlled.
To do without
restraint To have the
bonds of other
people slowly ease away.
It is the passion
that drives our men
and women to
fight for the nation
but it is also
what kills the very best of us.
But fear is something
that is put
behind and courage is
picked up instead
and what men lack
they come to find in
one simple little word,
one powerful but elusive
word that many still live without
