To fight for the belief that you control your own fate To fight for tomorrow To fight those negative feelings To fight complacency To fight for breakfast the buttered- biscuit To fight for wisdom even if it doesn’t pay the bills To fight for your elders lord knows this society won’t To fight for your family they are all you have To fight for morality because the majority doesn’t determine what’s right To fight life-- the daily grind To fight for love To fight through loss To fight against the menial and trivial because there are so many things in this world that really matter To fight to understand the vast and unknowable To fight the weather the roads left un-iced because you will still be getting to work on time To fight for what’s right so the example will be set for your children To fight our desires the voice in our minds we try to ignore To fight the idea than anything is impossible To fight mass delusion To fight for free will To fight indefinite servitude   to the monetary system To fight on Sunday then Monday and Tuesday To fight on Wednesday Thursday too To fight for getting things done on Friday and Saturday even if you can’t go out for some beers To fight the misery for it will pass To fight for elation because you deserve to feel it again To fight against everyone who ever said you couldn’t do it and prove them wrong To fight everyone because no one can stand in your way To fight for the idea that you have a purpose even if other people think they don’t To fight for the realization that everything matters To fight for each other To fight for money To fight against poverty To fight even when you know that you’re going to lose To fight even the sunlight because you are determined to shine brighter To fight for a full moon visible without toxic smog To fight sleepless nights for you have a big day tomorrow To fight for nothingness so you may attain inner peace To fight for hard work because it really does pay To fight for more to fight To fight fire with fire To fight to fight To fight for puppies against humane societies needles To fight for long walks because no matter what anyone says they are relaxing late at night when the streets are barren To fight traffic To fight that 45 minute line for a ride you have already done twice because it's her favorite To fight for the notion that every day matters and to really believe it To fight for the fact that you have value and to never forget it To fight for duty To fight for necessity To fight to be your best self To fight for to the world because there is still good left To serve that greater good To fight against your own wants and desires for life is so much more To fight for your needs To fight for your life To gain everything

To Fight
To fight for the belief that you control your own fate To fight for tomorrow To fight those negative feelings To fight complacency To fight for breakfast the buttered- biscuit To fight for wisdom even if it doesn’t pay the bills To fight for your elders lord knows this society won’t To fight for your family they are all you have To fight for morality because the majority doesn’t determine what’s right To fight life-- the daily grind To fight for love To fight through loss To fight against the menial and trivial because there are so many things in this world that really matter To fight to understand the vast and unknowable To fight the weather the roads left un-iced because you will still be getting to work on time To fight for what’s right so the example will be set for your children To fight our desires the voice in our minds we try to ignore To fight the idea than anything is impossible To fight mass delusion To fight for free will To fight indefinite servitude   to the monetary system To fight on Sunday then Monday and Tuesday To fight on Wednesday Thursday too To fight for getting things done on Friday and Saturday even if you can’t go out for some beers To fight the misery for it will pass To fight for elation because you deserve to feel it again To fight against everyone who ever said you couldn’t do it and prove them wrong To fight everyone because no one can stand in your way To fight for the idea that you have a purpose even if other people think they don’t To fight for the realization that everything matters To fight for each other To fight for money To fight against poverty To fight even when you know that you’re going to lose To fight even the sunlight because you are determined to shine brighter To fight for a full moon visible without toxic smog To fight sleepless nights for you have a big day tomorrow To fight for nothingness so you may attain inner peace To fight for hard work because it really does pay To fight for more to fight To fight fire with fire To fight to fight To fight for puppies against humane societies needles To fight for long walks because no matter what anyone says they are relaxing late at night when the streets are barren To fight traffic To fight that 45 minute line for a ride you have already done twice because it's her favorite To fight for the notion that every day matters and to really believe it To fight for the fact that you have value and to never forget it To fight for duty To fight for necessity To fight to be your best self To fight for to the world because there is still good left To serve that greater good To fight against your own wants and desires for life is so much more To fight for your needs To fight for your life To gain everything
