Dare to question madness,
valiant, ever courageous,
interrogate absurdity,
what you find vexatious.
Never refuse to face
unyielding resistance,
stay true to your beliefs,
remain ever consistent.
If there is a price to pay
for the right of knowledge,
and for the use of that thereof
say no to mental bondage.
What truly does define
collection of the facts,
information that you gather,
and how it does impact
is unrelenting bravery,
in the face of adversity,
At whatever cost to you
refusing intellectual depravity.
Does pride have a scholar
possessing an education,
a wealth of information,
yet lacking determination?
To who do we really owe
development and progress,
correction of miscalculations
and errors now behind us?
They who stood firm,
and fixed in their direction,
unswayed by obstruction,
are deserving of reflection…
Those we so often praise,
the ones commonly admired,
are they who’ve attained
achievement of desires.
