Underdogs

We must champion the underdogs. 
We must support the poor and weak. 
We must all fight along the side of those 
Whose hope and luck seemed bleak.

We must not not give up nor give in, 
Till we defeat those who taunt and boast. 
For the underdogs - they are the ones 
Who need our help the most.

We must conquer all the giants. 
We must all be brave and strong. 
We must all stand up for righteousness, 
And all put right what once was wrong.

So know that justice can then prevail 
And the future could be good. -
And if you believe it in your heart, 
Let it be true and understood.

Good rhyming piece. I agree about supporting others, but we do need to encourage them to stand on their own two feet rather than be constantly supported.

Stuart,

Bold and courageous words which lie in the hearts of most us. However, this poem articulates clearly what our human priorities are in a world ridden with greed.

Thank you for this

Keith
