To Overcome Adversity

Surviving adversity, it is really against the odds that you'll still stay normal with your full deck of cards Like many a cause that you know have a price where principle is concerned, you're ready to sacrifice There is right and there is wrong, you don't need to belong your principles are just, they have made you headstrong No rhyme and no reason can sway you from this cause because you've pondered its justice and have found no flaws Shouts of anger and negativity galore you are now tasting just what is in store What words could you offer to those limited in thought Then all is finished, would it be your wisdom they sought? Words of the heart enter the heart, when all else fails it's not a bad place to be, when addressing another's ails To overcome adversity there is not always one solution but it can never be found in starting a revolution In final sum, it seems like the rule of thumb better to negotiate that peace and then some For the alternatives are all to clear why perpetuate hatred and fear so put aside your differences and find a world wishing to care
