Ideals What Ideals

The idea of ideals sits inside
Those things to remember and not be denied
They are tied to each other being strong
That have been thought through all along

I look to live through them you see
If I am a success in what I’ll finally be
For those ideals are easy for me to write
But harder to live by in my search for the light

For my judgement may be flawed in the end
And when judged maybe hard to defend
I am sure people like Hitler thought they were right
So a point of view is important in your fight

So in the end how do I know my ideals are correct
That will stand tall and be so erect
Being in the right can be so subjective 
And knowing what’s right can be so objective.
