It Just Takes Blindness -Epistrophe

Not by what we say but by what we do Not by being silent can we prove what's true. Not by passive stance can we make things right Not by shades of gray is there black and white. Not by being fearful can we keep our land, Not by false illusions can our freedom stand. Not by being cowards are the battles won, Not by being still can many things be done. It takes real men to stand and face the foe, It takes truth in us to walk where we must go. It takes every fiber here to negate the lies It takes boldness to stop our own country's demise, It takes unity of heart and one goal to find It takes all the governed to speak out their mind It takes just one man to bring utter destruction It takes blindness to bring death to a nation. All rights reserved ~~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~07.25.15 Epistrophe - the repetition of a word or words at the end of two or more successive verses, clauses, or sentences.
