Fighters
By Ben Whisman

- Don’t fight! Or do fight?
- We learn it early, but do we learn?
- Be a lover, not a fighter.
- No, be a fighter too.
-
- Fight anybody who’d interfere,
- To make a friend feel better.
- Even fight with your friend,
- To make your friend get better.
-
- Maybe even fight with God,
- To seek the answers and make it right,
- When it can be made right,
- When there is sense to it.
-
- And how do I fight,
- Where is the right,
- When it seems too big, unknown, nonsense?
- How do I deal with it then?
-
- Now I will admit,
- Sometimes I don’t want to fight,
- I just want to lay down and quit.
- But I can’t stop forever; I won’t.
-
- But I wonder…
- Would I have the courage
- To fight with myself to change,
- If it would help a friend?
