Voices of Heritage

Violent sea storm brews,
Norwegian Vikings shout,
"Be persistent!"

In 1943,
A six-pointed Star of David,
Whispers from a window, "Be brave."

Windows dimmed on Korean streets,
Rebels working secretly,
"Fight for freedom," a commoner cries.

Brave, persistent guardian,
I am, Because my heritage speaks to me.
