Take A Stand (villanelle)

by Zbird

Don't be afraid! Take a stand!
Hold tight to your convictions,
it matters not what others say

as long as you truly believe.
So if you know you are right
don't be afraid, take a stand.

Hold firmly to your cause
in the face of adversity
it matters not what others say.

You are right and they are wrong
there is no compromise between.
Don't be afraid! Take a stand!

Let the world know you will not budge
will not listen to the other side,
it matters not what others say.

You are the one on the side of right
so hold firm, stand tall,
it matters not what other say.
Don't be afraid! Take a stand!

Well stated and well written!!! I enjoyed the villanelle style with a political note. Awesome.
