Stand Up and Resist Or Do Nothing At All.
You let them persist and say nothing at all.
Your futures dissolve and fortunes free fall.
Critics add nothing but choice caterwaul.
Stand up and resist or do nothing at all.
You let them persist and say nothing at all.
Cowards shout wildly in visions so small.
Few stalwart sailors and those they keelhaul.
Stand up and resist or do nothing at all.
You let them persist and say nothing at all.
Each face grows forlorn as cretins loom tall.
They lack everything save venom and gall.
Stand up and resist or do nothing at all.
You let them persist and say nothing at all.
The vultures swoop in. The hyenas maul.
Consume your courage. Roll up in a ball.
Stand up and resist or do nothing at all.
