Philosophy of Truth

Truth.
An dare that has ever been.
To cross the line and admit guilt.
to take charge of consequence.
To take life for what it's bare bones are,
Accepting that life is what it is,
Tearing down the fantasy glamour,
And seeing the rugged beauty of reality,
Opening your eyes for the first time,
fearful of what you must find,
Not having the comfort of Assurance,
No guarantee of success,
But valuing all you see before you?
What would the world be without the tethers of our limited minds,
if we could but see through the cloud of misconception and opinion,
if we truly could walk boldly forward without fear,
to take charge and lead?
If life weren't an elaborate role playing game as we envisioned it?
If we realized we have choice,
That we were not Bound to our Destiny,
That we could rise far beyond our class and caste,
ascend to greatness with but one step,
what world would that be?
Some among us have taken that step,
Trod the road less traveled and stuck to It.
Nations where born of these men and women,
tradition cast aside,
Mindsets shattered,
bonds of society mangled into misshapen lumps of a bygone age,
Truth stops for no one,
It is that of bravery and opportunity,
For the Moral Entrepreneurs,
Willing to step beyond the gilded birdcage of Humanity,
to walk in the steps of giants,
To step over the fearful and hold out a hand,
to take them with them into greatness.
Such are leaders,
Not Subquo politicians,
But risk takers,
gamblers,
thrill seekers,
whom have had a mere glimpse of the truth,
their higher calling than the bonds of mortality.
for those of the truth are those who never die,
who we praise and revere for centuries to come,
who we wonder at and speak of, 
but never think to emulate.
Our nest is known and conforting,
But the door is unlocked.
No one slammed it after leaving.
We all just need the lightest push,
As a mother Bird does with her chicks,
to try the new,
denying fear,
and Soar.
