"So Many Things To Fight For"
There are so many things to fight for
in this life, so many causes to uphold
and defend and stand for like plus size
women in bikinis in barbados and hamsters
who will never know testing of products on them
and guinea pigs eating green grass in the sunshine
and little boys' dreams and big boys' dreams
and people being hurt by disease and cruelty
of others people being picked on and even
beaten up for no reason, hunger and the filling
of hunger, loneliness and the reaching out in need,
bird seed to feed the wild birds from your feeder
water to water the garden that is a glorious jungle
rooftop gardens and undiscovered blogs and books
that nobody has read but which hold within thenselves
whole worlds and lives and universes, children who have
a hard time adapting to their peers and gods that should be
prayed to but are no longer believed in, and santa claus, and
the easter bunny and the tooth fairy and little wishes
and birthdays when people need their special day
weddings and wedding gowns and parties needing guests
the dead people who love us and need to be remembered
or is it, rather, trying to leave them behind, that is so difficult?
--Either way, little-supported causes are a beautiful thing
i myself am one that how you make friends by paying attention
to other's needs, lost causes are a beautiful thing veterans
unattended parties obscure magazines restaraunts going out
of business yes, i tell you, there are, indeed So Many Things
To Fight For.
In JEsus' NAme,
Amen.////
