let them win

if that will create a world

in which you'll have less

and everyone else will have more

let them get their way

if you can pay the price

and carry the burden alone

making the struggle irrelevant

but you will be damned

if you give up

defending the truth

because it was hard

to disprove lies

and stand in the way

of those with power

and their ego

because it was easy

to let others

get thrown under bus

while you watch

injustice

and

pain

from safe distance

when you could've

done something

to stop it

and help usher the world

in which everyone

would've had more
