Courage

Whom among us, my brothers and sisters, have the courage to stand?

Who, my sons, will take their lovers hand?

My daughters, will you not fight for the belief of your soul?

Which of you neighbors will cease to bicker and be whole?

Which one of you fathers will raise up their child?

What mother will stand strong against a man whose reviled?

Blessed wives, who stays faithful in the midst of a fight?

Who among you, husband's, forgive and make things right?

Who among you have the courage to combat,

When your scared and alone, and your face falls flat?

And whom, dear children, have the strength to move on,

When the toils of life are far from foregone?

This is your call to action.  You need to adhere.

Take up your courage, in spite of loneliness and fear.

All of those who are, bruised, downtrodden, beaten,

This is your way, your salvation, your beacon.

Lift up your heads for you should not be ashamed.

Live everyday like a victory you have already claimed.

Whom among us, my brothers and sisters, have the courage to stand?

Let us all stand together, united, holding hand in hand.
