'Courage' - A Poem

Courage

Reclaiming soul splendour,

Scaring fear away,

Hurting pain.

Unarmed mad men

Beginning after the end.

Crazed women

Diving for a drop of truth

Into falsehood’s ruthless ocean.

Choosing a million lives

On a single day,

Over

A million deaths

On ten thousand nights.

From ‘A Poet’s Promise’ by Dr Rositta Joseph, Black Eagle Books, USA, 2025
