Strong
Some think that blunt talking can prove that you’re strong.
I write here to tell you that thinking is wrong.
Strong isn’t making glass from desert sand.
Strong is more holding a poor person’s hand.
Strong isn’t showing your neighbor disdain.
Strong’s about healing unbearable pain.
Strong isn’t keeping the refugees out.
Compassion and justice are what it’s about.
Strong isn’t baring and beating your chest.
Strong’s about caring and being your best.
If you can’t figure out where all of this led
You’re probably voting for Trump or for Ted.
