we
should not
concede what
we know to be
true, just to keep peace,
nor honor that which is
dishonorable, lest we
fall short of our best selves, instead
may we remember that agreeing
to disagree won’t do when truth’s at stake

Well said Kat. I do believe we need to hold onto our truth, in the face of challenge.

So very true, Kat! There are times when “keeping the peace” turns into selling out to the Empire!
