Make a Stand In the Face of Injustices and Wrongs

Never be afraid to speak the truth

Never be afraid to point out wrongs

But accept that other may not agree

But that doesn't mean you should back down on what you perceive

But always listen to all sides

With open an mind and eyes, 

Then you have all the knowledge that you need to decide

Whether what you believe it is wrong or right, 

Never be too inflexible or ever deny

That you got it wrong and you failed to see the other side

But don't be bullied or cajoled when right

To ever back down be strong and shine a light

On injustices and acts that are just wrong

And never be afraid to make a stand and be strong, 

For it's the only way to create a fair and righteous world

It's the only way to put an end to suffering, 

So always point out wrongs

And never be afraid

You just need to be brave.

Your verse is inspirational to do the right thing. Some right things get lost in the wrong delivery... Well done!
