breathtaking! ! how this poet manages to also remind us of certain 'modern ' human issues just (not by intention) due subtile words he managed to write in such a serene and honest way, there is really this human touch in this one, its drama in chaos but also beauty in chaotic life, hard to miss this one :) thanks!

The world will follow them all some day, the men it has shunned and banned, The gallant hearts that hewed the way that leads to Morning Land. Nicely penned poem. Thanks poet.
