Poetic Verses
Surefire Bet
There are those who would begrudge you
or quickly get upset
if you should disagree with them
and that's a surefire bet.
They will scoff at your core values
though you guard them to the hilt,
because those dogmas form the base
on which this land was built.
They will say that you're old fashioned
that you need an open mind,
and that your thinking has to change
to an outlook more refined.
They will ask you to be silent
though you have a given right
to stand opposed to detriments
that erode our country's might.
Yes, the malcontents are with us
and that's a surefire bet
but you must stand opposed to them
even when they get upset.
