Stand Firm

Against complacency

Stand Firm

When all the slights have been cast,

and all the low blows delivered,

I will remain steadfast and

true to my belief in human kindness.

Mandela showed me the way

and now lights the path I travel.

There can be no darkness

when one walks with angels

and sides with the truth

and the common good,

and pain is simply pain

to be endured and cast aside

as the glory of difference prevails.
