Real Steel

Inheriting a history of repeated failure,

Yet achieving the impossible in his tenure,

Wounded in battle, but standing tall in the war.

What is this man made of?

Completing a journey of a million hurdles,

While his own demons he handles,

Tired on the path, but always in motion.

What is that man made of?

Making a voice heard in a jungle of chaos,

Speaking with courage for a worthy cause,

Choosing the right, rather than the easy path.

What is this man made of?

Remaining calm in the face of calamity,

Holding back anger as a reflex to stupidity,

Never showing frustration, but reason

What is the man made of?

Melting hearts that were frozen since ages,

Lending a ear to the ones in dark cages,

Free falling often, yet being a pillar of strength 

What is that man made of?

Working without support nor appreciation,

Never boastful of his contribution,

Of a royal stature, yet living in a humble abode

What is that man made of?

PS: Dedicated to one of the most awesome people I know - BJ!! 

Song on my mind: Strictly, in the spirit of true friendship!!
