Sometimes trying just ain't good enough

What can combat oppression?

A degree ?

Money?

Hard work?

Nope.

Trying just ain't good enough.

Love?

Being Caring?

Kindness?

Uh uh, no.

Trying still ain't good enough.

Fighting for justice?

Voting?

Speaking out?

Ugh, nada.

Tired of trying, because trying just ain’t good enough.

    Fighting against wrong sure does get tiring! Well said. Don’t give up. I love the saying: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”💖
