Parents will tell you that fighting is bad,
That it should be avoided at every turn.
And they are correct, at least in theory,
But here is an important lesson I learned.
Turning a cheek is always an option,
A tool for avoiding a fight,
But walking away, giving bullies their
sway
Will not help in setting things right.
Fighting is not always done fist to face
Or with bullets across battlefields.
Resistance can be simply standing in place
Resolutely refusing to yield.
There is fighting with words,
Which may sound absurd,
But we all know that words can have weight
And can quickly resolve,
If all parties involved
Can put aside discord and hate.
But if you must fight make sure
You’re in the right and
Move forward with firmness and grit.
You may not prevail
But you surely won’t fail
Knowing, in the end, you did not quit.
