If someone devised a plan
To isolate a man
Turn his friends against
****** power from hand

What if they spread rumors?
What if they controlled your
Phone?
What if they payed your boss
And all whom was employed

What if no one believes
In volume from tongue
Seek to Sought refuge
With no where to run

How would you survive?
Would you well up and cry?
With all odds against
Would you stand up and  try?
Lay down and die

What is ones faith
when others can manipulate
Distort views of others
Perception than smothered

Would you complain and wine?
Or stand up and try?
Give up and go
Surrender and die

Would you continue to fight
Through dusk and dawns light
Maintain spiritual height
Integrity delight

Would you wonder why?
With blank look in eye
Feeling of no hope
Surrender and die

Maybe you’ll hold
your head high?
Again
Stand up and try
Again
stand up try
Again
Stand up and try!
