Danger is a constant force
That presses ever closer
When goals come into focus and
The prize lies just ahead.
Tiptoeing around it would be
Prudent if not easier than
Bulling past with helmet lowered
Striking head to head.
Lying dazed and shattered
Hazed and tattered from the battle,
Hearing sideline prattle wanting
Desperately to know.
Did I cross the goal line as
The seconds ticked to nothing?
Will I ride on shoulders or
Is this the final show?
Heroes are just suckers
Offered up for sacrifice,
Willingly forsaking as
They pay a heavy price.
