Where are the so-called brave?
Not the brazen boobs who crow for cameras
And proclaim this land as theirs, ripe for reclamation.
Nor the type who tirelessly tweets,
Repeatedly and reprehensibly trolling and trending,
Manufacturing anguish and outrage
Out of dreamed-up dilemmas.

But rather the breed that stands alone
Tall against plastic peers
Who have long abandoned honor,
Now displaced by forced fealty.
The brave are fierce and few,
Valiantly facing fiery gust
With grit and gumption.
