Notes About The Poem

Moxie

fully cognizant 
           of what is fair and just; 
      doing exactly that without fear, 
or while incurring the slings and arrows
             of fierce opposition. 
      that's what "moxie" looks like!

Doing both the right things with arrows Sticking out of your back is moxie yes. Only people with deep love for humanity, and integrity can do this. I know a few thousand people who refuse to be changed by the world. They are committed to transformation not subjugation,getting along or being nice. That’s easy and for social climbers. PR
