The Dare Devil

The Dare Devil

This is a misnomer describing those who dare to risk
Their everything to appear the ultimate in bravery. They insist
They're strong, brave, fearless and foolhardy for they ignore the odds!
And, it's evident, they sometimes lose. They're not invincible
Gods.

Bravery borders on this at times but for an entirely different cause.
If you risk your everything to save another's life, this presents altruistic laws.
If you risk your everything to save another's life it is a selfless thing,
But if you lose your life to glorify yourself, that is a selfish thing.

Do not squander your precious life taking foolish chances for your fleeting glory.
There'll be plenty of times to prove yourself when it is a different story.
Bravery is altogether different from this foolhardy attitude.
If it costs your life you'll only be remembered as that young and foolish "dude."
