Company Kept



Company Kept

Tears for my heroes mostly gone to eternity
They risked all, for that’s required when you reach for divinity
Not necessarily death but until you’ve worn out all
The lesson reaching for Olympus is stark and total

Respect those that don’t sit but do and never quit
It’s easy to point and criticize like a loudmouth twit
Society doesn’t admire but admonishes desire
It bows to power regardless of morality or evil tower

So isolate this world from your identity
By whose standards, is the question you ought to ask insistently
The road of by MY mind and world, objectively
Not whatever, but measured rationally

The courageous are those that stand alone
It’s impossible to know if you’ll always walk on your own
This real question of individualism or surrender
But you need just one other to make the circle round forever
