In unity there is strength
That courage which feeds it
So others will not know
Fear that comes close
Not to surface so readily
When one is but alone
The brave men together
Tremble as cowards too
A heart that pounds fully
In the midst of a crowd
Only patterns erratically
In its shaking solitude
So to find brave men near
They stand alone steadfast
Even in darkness stilled
That may be borne by evil
No banter, nor emotion
Only direction, silent resolve
Silence is not indecision
Conviction needs no words
Kindness is not weakness
Hope's bastions are strong
Laughter only conveys
Fortitude in life's follies
