Curtis Johnson Poet Couplet

Let Your Light Shine

It’s true that we are different, but life can be tough for all of us
No matter who we are, we all shall one day bite the dust

So take your liberty to debate and disagree, to fuss and discuss
Let’s exercise our freedom of speech and argue if we must

There are some things we must stand up against and fight                                                                                          It's not a fight to prove who’s wrong and who’s right 

It’s one way to supply the world with salt and light  
It’s also another way to separate the night from the day

It’s another way to keep the darkness in its place
It’s another way to give hope to the human race     

I tell you, we must be brave, bold, and not run away and hide
Never giving chance and opportunity for an evil and rising tide

May our voices be heard, never giving sway to the absurd
May we step forward and cast our vote while there is still hope
