There is something that life does hold-
That makes one brave, and boils his blood.....
The "Hero's call"...The realist fails to halt-
The illusion making rhubarb out of men.
The heroic fields and foolish deeds....
But is it worth it all?
The Bubble Glory that we seek,
The Romantic fame- is that all it is?
The skeletons that lie in pursuit of fame,
The shattered hopes, the dead thoughts-
At the end of the journey, won or lost,
The person wonders, " Is life worth it all?"
