Have the courage ....

 

Have the courage

To do the right thing

To stand up and say ‘No I don’t agree’

To speak up for the oppressed and the wronged

And hold firm to your belief.

 

Have the courage

To voice your opinion

When your heart tells you, you’re right

‘Group think’ if you know what it is

Can be a destructive force.

 

Have the courage

And quality of mind and spirit

To defy conventional beliefs

That have stood the test of time

Just because no one asked

That all pertinent ‘WHY’

 

Have the courage

To question those in authority

Who attempt to play God

 And punish others

When no punishment is due

 

Have the courage my friend

To be virtuous and upright.

It will not be easy

But if you’re just and fair

It will give you peace of mind

in the end
