'O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, <br />The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won' <br /> - Walt Whitman <br /> <br />Our ship's arrived, <br />And we came in <br />And fought in many <br />Ugly ways- <br />Somebody said <br />The beast within <br />Will never see <br />The light of day. <br /> <br />But here we are now- <br />Long time gone- <br />With sadness <br />Time our laugh <br />Replaced- <br />The crowd roared <br />With applause- <br />The captain wore <br />A double face. <br /> <br />The laughter died <br />And no more <br />They'll see <br />Their captain <br />Rise again- <br />They've seen black <br />Presidents, genocide, <br />But they are yet <br />To see a man. <br /> <br /> <br /> - August 14,2014<br /><br />Alexander Shaumyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-robin-williams/
