Courage

This poem is written by Kapil. I received it in response of articles "Wake Up for Second Freedom Fight" and "Dekh Kabira Roya". I liked it and sought permission to post it here:

Courage

What is COURAGE ?
In these times of turmoil and rage,
We must stand for truth with courage.

As William Shakespeare had said  -  “This world is a Stage”,
So we should come out of our smaller self-cage.

Freeing ourselves from the shackles of sufferings and bondage,
This is the time and this is the age.

What is COURAGE ?
A fight for self improvisation for an eternal voyage,
A war for my human revolution I will have to wedge.

Building a new era, writing a new page,
Waiting for none, spreading love message,
Because love has neither boundary nor language.

We ourselves are the key & our heart is itself a true gauge,
Clean the heart, throw away your grudge luggage.

What is COURAGE ?
Living a simple life, but with faith above average,
Leave behind hypocrisy and leave behind your image,
Working for World Peace with full voltage!

I do sometime ask myself, what is Courage ?

A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered”
As correctly said by Nicherin Diashonin, a 16th century Japanese sage.
I think this is courage.

So what do you think of this passage ?

Poet - Kapil
