More Than Good

If the world will ever find peaceGood people will have to stop fighting.It is not enough for good people to be good.Being good has a blind spot. It makes you thinkThat you are justified in fighting for what is right,In making war in defense of truthAnd to preserve your freedom.But freedom doesn’t need to be preserved.It lives within the heart of those Who can’t be persuaded Not to speak the truthEven when the enemy rages And the tyrant oppresses.So be good. Speak the truth.But also be kind. It is the way That leads to peace.
