Do you care enough, my friend, to stand for what is right?
Do you care enough to persevere, and try with all your might?
Do you care enough to suffer loss, if to prosper’s doing wrong?
And to be the man who always hears a different marching song?

Do you care enough to lay your life, right square upon the line?
And face the fact of certain death, to be a friend of mine?
Do you care enough to lose it all, if that is what it costs?
And laugh right in the face of fate, and count it not a loss?

Do you care enough to be yourself, out in a world of clones?
And explore a world, where if you die, they’ll never find your bones?
Do you care enough to make your way, outside another’s plan?
If a female, you’re a Woman, if male, then you’re a Man!

Good question!
Next question is are you fearless? It is easy to care but hard to act upon those feelings. Sometimes the path of conviction is full of conflict.  Thoughtful write. ~L
