The stage was set for a man to take his solemn duty within his hands and make his way to far away lands. Yet today this boy became that man. Not the man wanting to venture unwillingly to far away lands. Nor the man to take the wishes of others' ignorance into his own hands ... but the man to keep to his morals ... to make his stand. But as his higher power served greatly , admired by few yet hated by many. For the man he is now has been labeled a criminal. A coward of will. His legal duty duped by his moral appeal, he stands before the masses chanting in tongues giving lashes. The camera turns on and the lights heat up as it's his time to confide his thoughts to the world in rhyme.
" You know who I am, yet you seem surprised lately. Am I still not the one to dance all night? Am I not the man that came to fight? No, I will not fight ... not for the own selfish ignorance's of those who can only experience what pain is like from the side, despite their own desires and virtues, they send the poor and hide in fright.
I am not a puppet of the man who thinks because I obey the law set that I will follow my brothers blindly into that darkened hell to gamble my being and talent simply for your will. No, I am not that pawn. I will not be pressured nor convinced ; I will go on! Do what you will with my name.
Take my titles and destroy my fame, but you will never break my spirit and you cannot throw me off my game. I will come back stronger and I will be back fast. I'm bigger than this and I will take this moment and throw it in my past. For I am the greatest, and nothing can stop me. I'll still float gracefully across that canvas mat, and I will sting harder than ever when I get back. Send me to jail, there's light at the end. For what's broken can always mend"
The boy has now become a man of the hour, the solid statue of standing firm for belief and value. An endless figure sealed within our history in stone,
forever remembered
never alone.
