I DARE YOU !!!

I DARE YOU...

I DARE YOU, to live right in God's sight
to try everyday with all your might to do
what you know to be right,

I DARE YOU, to do the right thing
just because it's the right thing to do
You have absolutely nothing to prove,

Let the haters hate, that should be something
you already anticipated, when is a hater ever
late to hate, that's the only thing in life they do
that's considered great,

I DARE YOU, to be a leader and not a follower
because our leaders are no longer leaders
there a just a bunch of wallowers,

I DARE YOU, to become someone's light,
because the lights are going out and causing
people to fright, I'm praying we can rescue them
from the dark and be there spark,
to reignite the light and give people clear sight,

Please jump on board and help save the broken
we're running out of time, I'm not even joking
We need to help our fellow man, let's give them a hand,
I promise you this follows God's perfect plan,

I DARE YOU!!!
I DARE YOU TO,
NO, I am begging you to step up to the plate,
before we run out of time and it's to late...

Words to strive to live by! Every word you wrote is how we should be feeling and what we should be doing. Thank you for the reminder! May I share this on my facebook wall? This is absolutely inspiring.

I really enjoyed reading this. It is exhausting to swim against the stream, but it is sometimes the right thing to do! I appreciate that you keep on defying a strong current :)

These lines (and what follows in the two stanzas) are particular powerful!
"I DARE YOU, to be a leader and not a follower"
"I DARE YOU, to become someone's light, "
The repetition works really well...

And the end: "I DARE YOU!!!/ I DARE YOU TO,/ NO, I am begging you to step up to the plate,/
before we run out of time and it's to late... "
So genuine in its expression.
Great job, JT!

Your welcome!
hehe :) I have been feeling a bit under the weather, so didn't really feel fit to review anything :) But it is good to be back!
I will try to review the other read requests within the next couple of days! You have been quite productive! So far without dropping quality standards, I might add :) How are you?

[GreenEyedPoet]

You don't have to dare me! ESP when it comes to helping the broken, I do that as much as I can because I was once one of those broken people. I still have my issues but for once in my life I'm in a good place, all being of God. :)

This was such an inspiring piece James, really enjoyed it.

I am truly dared. Thanks be to God for leading me to this great piece of ART. I always tell my friends that we can never live and enjoy best of both worlds. If we choose to live for God, we let the ''haters hate" ....
I'm confident to say you have the will of God @ heart. You a true image and likeness.
Stay blessed and writing.
