The writing prompt for this piece was the title of a Journey song: Don’t stop believin’. We had 6 minutes to write.
Don’t Stop Believing
Don’t stop believing
One cannot do it alone
Never let them tell you that you can’t
‘Tell yourself you are better than that
Stay the course and persist
Temper your judgment with logic
Onward as you go
Prepare for what is to come
But also prepare to show cause
Enter into the fray well-armed
Lies do not protect those who use them
I’m going to have my say
Everyone needs to listen and respect
Virtuous people will respond with hope
Instill empathy among those without
No one is above the law
Goodness comes from understanding
