Courage

Courage

Courage, bravery, defiance

Strange words

When it comes to battling

The results of terrorism

People with bizarre ideologies

But if life goes on

What have the terrorists achieved?

Nothing senseless deaths

Bring out people to the good fight

Helping others their priority

Showing the rest of the world

How to overcome

Adversity, strife and mayhem

With generosity, love and light

They shall overcome

Showing people society can be good

As long as they filter out

The demons who seek to harm

Turning them in so they can’t strike

Before they use religion
Distorting it and turning inside out

To harm those who would demolish

For the sake of destroying
Spreading their evil ideology

These must be stopped

When they start to falter

Becoming ready to be prey

For the evil minds who then

Convert them to minions

Who care not for life

Just to destroy

It takes a village to raise a child

Let’s raise good people

With love and acceptance

And step in when we see wrong

Let's stand together strong

And brave
Don't let hate win

Love can lead the way
