Conditioned to follow outdated scripts, toxic beliefs,
Emotional cargoes, and ancient thought processes
That come in the guise of culture, tradition,
Emotion, ideology and religion?
If you think doing so is a good thing
You are a worm under a rock still sleeping
You cannot fully taste and enjoy
Life and lights' progressive way!
If given a chance to rewrite your path of progress
You fear it like hell and regress
You feel very uncomfortable to take a leap
And come out of your comfort zones of mind's deep sleep
You suffer emotional setbacks as if you are committing a sin
Lack of societal approval makes you squirm with mental pain
For you unfamiliarity is uncanny
So swimming against the tide is not funny
Challenging systems, born not to follow but to confront abnormal,
Rewriting stories , breaking cycles and disrupting the normal
Need a special type of courage only a few people are gifted with
Breaking their spirit is a pointless myth
Because these proved their trust-worthiness
By undergoing tough testing and coming out with flying colours,
Tremendous pain yet remaining firm on their ground for long,
Fighting intense battles and winning, enduring the worst things in life but still staying strong
Responsible positions and true leadership need special training
Not everybody can pass it forever fighting
Those who do can never turn back move forward taking
The whole world with them with resolved marching
History writes the names of these people in golden letters
Flags carry their inner stories in wind that flutters
For generations of people to see and fill with wonder
And in awe that make them definitely ponder!
The people whose names are written in golden letters
