Courage of One



Courage of One

Don’t sacrifice yourself, in rational self-interest we trust
Striving for the values that we hold is a must
A sacrifice is something that arises from force
It denies your right to do what’s best for you, a farce

But rational self-interest requires moral courage
And can be quite political, with fragile egos about
The control freak or inhibited minds that like to shout
The ones that see power as a way to dictate like a lout

So wrestle with yourself and deny guilt a trip
Unearned, it’s the altruist’s easy sly whip
It’s the self-sacrificing kind that seeks to lead astray
They want you to undermine your soul, it’s the deepest to betray

Determine your values and fight for them to keep
It all begins when you recognize that your Life is the standard
The love you give to who and what is a reflection of you
What you do and where you stand is your Land
