The Unheard Martyr

Floating on a sea, in a raft made of glass
Drifting to somewhere, straight through a pass.
The rocks and the crags raise up above,
The tide turns against; push comes to shove.

Blazing on, through the rough ocean spittle,
Waves, with their fortitude, push the man little.
With maximum effort, the suff'rer does drive,
Thinking not twice, to his goal must he strive.

Poseidon dost rage; Neptune dost foam;
The victim is tossed; chilled to the bone.
His outlook, despondent; the journey, thankless;
Yet push on he does, and soon sees his purpose.

A device cries, Awaken! the man opens his eyes,
Lying in bed, he breathes in with surprise.
Showered and dressed, he sets off to his post,
Forgets he his dream, and all he wants most.

Alas, a good deal too many are those,
...They that sleep, perchance to dream;
And few, and far between, are those,
...Who dream, perchance to act...

Like it, poem!

That was cool. Especially the end part of it

"Alas, a good deal too many are those,
   ...They that sleep, perchance to dream;
And few, and far between, are those,
   ...Who dream, perchance to act..."

That is soooo kewl

this poem was great, but you should put the title in the title box

You did a really good job of writing this poem in my opinion!

I hope you post more soon, and like jeremy said, titles in the title box are cool
