Are You?

Have you the courage,

to aspire the audacious, the big, the impossible?

Have you the faith,

to pursue the right, result be damned?

Have you the love,

to feel pain in powerpoint statistics?

Have you the conviction,

to believe enough to act?

Have you the madness,

to ignore precedent, reason and caution?

Have you the curiosity,

to dream, to paint, to create?

Have you the will,

to toil, to bleed, to give it all, and more?

Have you the pace,

to run faster than the day, tirelessly?

Have you the realisation,

to look at time as sand in a closed fist?

Have you the impoliteness,

to ignore, mock, reject the status quo?

Aye, tell me,

Are you the unreasonable man?

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."  - George Bernard Shaw
