Analysis of What is courage?

GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)



To approach an armed man
Unarmed
To walk in a dark night
Without torchlight
To walk among male lions
Holding their manes
To raid a bank and come out
Without taking loot
To fail to prepare for test
And expect good grade
To you what is courage
That you claim to manage
To me it’s the confidence
Of having diligence!
