Courage


if you're always strong
you can do no wrong
if you're always rich
you can feel no hunger
if you're always safe
you can see no threat

life wrongs the many
life starves the poor
life frightens the unsafe

the powerful can defer
the wealthy can provide
the secure can protect

if you're always mindful
you can see true need
if you're always willing
you can find compassion
if you're willing to suffer
you can find true courage
