It has occurred to me
As one who is future oriented
That his can be a bad trap for us,
The most true issue being
What is immediately before us.
Men rising and even medals being given
For nights of blood and fire beyond mind's grasp
For which a moment has proven destiny.
The call is always for humility
The moment that is always before us.
