right isn't easy

x


right isn't easy
in fact, 99% of the time
it's really, really hard
i wonder why we keep thinking
that somehow, someway,
right would be easy
because it's not

right isn't easy
it never has been
just look at history
the ups and downs
have all been from right
waging war with wrong
but somewhere, somehow

right always prevails-
but not without a cost

right isn't easy
i want to remember that
when i'm tempted to ignore
the voice inside telling me to
stand up for the truth- for what's 
defined as right by the one 
who created right to reflect Himself

 keep fighting for right, 
because right isn't easy
but it's worth it all

  5. I AM TOUCHED BY THESE WORDS. And blessed that you have shared them. If right were easy it wouldn't be as worth it to stand up for. <3
