Do Not Drink That Cup
Everyone has seen giving in and giving up.
I chose to believe we can all decline that cup.
Please say you cannot embrace compliant
or live life as an acceptance client.
Many do tolerate travesty's place
but we must not abide its bitter trace.
We should not forsake heartfelt ideal
and must disregard relenting's appeal.
To say mankind got lost by accident
is to ignore each foolish incident.
What others may reconcile or abide,
let us refuse to absorb in good stride.
Genuine truth, we will not surrender.
Let's remain a human rights defender.
As one, let us promise to never stand in line
to accept a cupful of the conceding wine.
