Act

~~~

Stand not idly by and watch

Whispering words in wishes

Wanted given in little prayers

When action seen capricious

~~~

Rise and meet the purposed call

Give beliefs now solid proof

Actions speak the loudest still

And therein lies your truth

~~~

What you witness and do not

Complicit is in the evil there

But if you act when others need

You shant need so many prayers

~~~

Stand and do the harder things

Be not silent in contraction

Evil wins when you fail to act

You must be a person of action

~~~
