Fortitude

There's something peculiar about witnessing courage in the face of hatred True righteousness hits me deep It flourishes from within the way epiphanies bloom in scholars or the way love overwhelms young students There's majesty in the underdog who stands until his knees buckle who shouts until her voice breaks fueled only by fortitude mocked for feeling empathy hated for living truth In moments of moral principle I see peace amidst the chaos poetry amidst the prose in the eyes of the young and in the old who fight for justice
