The line between courage and cowardice has been blurred.
Perched on a cliff of confidence, we sit.
Looking at cowardice below.
How absurd that none recognize the danger which may await.

We utter words which we do not truly think,
Misguided by the thoughts of others, we talk.
Looking like fools, we write our own thoughts in invisible ink.
How ridiculous that none speak that which they feel, but instead let the thoughts of others dictate.

So who will break the chain?
Stepping out of line, we are changed.
Looking nothing like the over-confident fool we once were.
How strange that we now boldly preach the message which sanctifies and saves.
