Master of Courage

There was no way he could give up,

there was much at stake,

he lived for the day and the day's events

were sufficient for the day,

he was resilient in times of war, strife

and civil war and he sought for peace,

he knew blood from the beginning from

his birth he never liked to spill blood, and courted

peace through no spilling of blood.

What mattered most was his outlook on life

a life of wandering, trekking and of love,

No one stood in his path that led him to be

courageous.

There was no misunderstanding that stood in the way

given the years of isolation that came with companionship,

that he relocated to a distant land far off from the land

of his birth. 

Everything was anew that came to him in a time of the

great drought, he survived the wrath of war,

the wars of love and he was not a student of corruption

that devastated the country, the weak have fallen while

the  stronger have held their head high and he never

stumbled because he was with God. He was creative

but the earth led him to believe he was treading the right path,

No man was as kind like him and he had to restore where he

never hurt, injured or destroyed a thing; that never belonged

to him.
