It’s not enough to be right

It never is.

Compromise

Is the Key to Peace

You’ll never win without a fight

And a fight isn’t winning at all

For a fight means loss

To lose that which is 

Close

To you.

And to lose isn’t to win

It’s to wish you’d never fought

So, what to do

When a fight is close?

To run is to surrender

That which

You believe

To surrender your core

To no longer be

But, to hide is to show

Fear

To give strength

To that which you oppose

To defeat yourself

And commit to being concealed

And, yet, to face

The fight

Is to admit

A willingness to fight

A willingness

To lose.

So,

Be willing to fight

To face your opponent

To display your beliefs
And hold your ground

But never be willing to lose

To enter the fight

To burn bridges
And avoid peace

Allow them to think

A fight is coming

Then,

Fight with ideas

Thoughts

Use words as messengers

Not weapons.

Compromise is born from

A willingness to fight

But a commitment

Never to follow through.
