Courage
Courage is to speak the truth
when the truth is hard to tell;
Courage is to stand up for what's right
even if it's unpopular;
Courage is to go beyond the convention
and challenge the unchallengeable;
Courage is daring to be hopeful
while there seems no hope.
when the truth is hard to tell;
Courage is to stand up for what's right

Courage is to go beyond the convention
and challenge the unchallengeable;
Courage is daring to be hopeful

It's exceptionally hard in today's politically correct world ... but you're right. If you see something as truth, have the courage of your convictions. The worst that can happen is that one day you'll have to say, "I was wrong." :) Great poem/
