To Whomever This May Concern
Dear mister enemy,
You made a mistake, soon you will see.
I never give up so easily,
And when we’re done, you’ll be the one to plea.
I am stronger than you know.
My public image is more than a show.
I survived both the desert and the snow,
And it escapes the minds of every foe.
Dumb of heart, smart of mind.
Even if you have me confined,
Tortured, beaten, rendered blind,
You cannot make me feel resigned.
Although in dollars, I’m more than a million,
I stand to save the lives of a billion,
And even though I am just a civilian
Just hear my name, and you’ll see vermilion.
I understand what this will take,
My heart, a million times it will break,
I sacrifice myself, for everyone’s sake,
But I smile, knowing the good I can make.
Imagine the thousands of glowing hearts,
From each battle I fight, each one of my parts,
If I can inspire, through strengths or through smarts,
This is where everything starts.
