Heed (!) ye all; yet, no matter if you do not!: A poem

I have persisted with ambivalent tenacity; and watched the swamp become a serpent, and braved the serpent”s fangs. As also, watched the serpent become a swamp, and risked being dragged down! This, O(!) onlookers, as I carried a humongous burden with Atlassian sinew; never buckling under pressure of wanton cruelty or punishment! You see, if one has nothing to fear, being laid seige upon gives one the choice to respond with temperance; being deceived, gives one the option to confound with all honesty; defeat becomes an opportunity for brave reprisal; and metaphoric death becomes a forum for imminent resurrection! The mythic hero never fears any outcome – never betting on Dame Fotune, but banking on his own resoluteness! Despite all the odds, he becomes persevering in his duty of care, no matter how much he is held circumspect by the same people he undertakes to protect! The bravest among us is always misunderstood for his intrepidity to do the thankless job to be cruel to be kind; never intimidated by the posturings of evil or its punishment; and never daunted by the prospect of fighting alone and on all fronts! Neitzsche, see the one who silently epitomises Ubermensch! I am not a scrivener of my courage, but the actual unblunted blade of it! I am self-assured, without needing validation! You wrote of untrameled sacrificial greatness, Nietzsche, I have exemplified it in action all my life without seeking any acknowledgement, recognition or reward!! And this is not yet my final word!!!
