A good friend suggested to me that defeatism is merely a coward's concession.
The fascists want you to feel defeated.
The fascists want you to see no way out.
The fascists want you to despair.
The fascists want you to relent.
The fascists want you to comply ahead.
The fascists want your total acquiescence.
Reason gives birth to freedom.
Delusion takes that away.
When delusion rules our freedoms cease to exist in application.
This is why the reasoned among us will never desist.
Because in reason's absence our freedoms cease to exist.
Steel your resolve. These are mere skirmishes.
The real battles have yet to begin.
The fight is long.
I'll fight to my last breath.
Here's to you doing the same in your own way.
Above all embrace what you love and hold that dear.
That is where life is lived after all, in the moments we love.
