Let us not
by Peter-John Campbell
Let us not be the ones who succumbed
who fail to hold the line,
and lost the battle for our sons and daughters.
Let us not be the ones who yield.
When the sirens call, SCREAMING
in our ears to give in to their poisonous song.
Let us not be the ones who capitulated
and compromised all we hold dear
and follow the path of least resistance.
But, let us be the ones who will be remembered
as those who held firm to the truth.
Who remained strong and stood against the rising tide.
Let us be the ones who will be remembered
as those who withstood the darkness
When the light was dim and all hope was gone.
Let us be the ones who will be remembered
as those who endured when others' hearts fell.
And spoke 'truth' when the world yelled 'lies.'
Let us be the ones
who remembered The Lord
and His Word.
Let us be the ones who stood firm.
Let us not succumb
but rather overcome
and be found faithful.
