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
