You wear your badges with such pride and I <br />Admire you unreservedly. I share <br />Your consternation and concern. I care <br />About the principles you're standing by, <br />The causes you uphold so well. So why <br />This caution, this reluctance to declare <br />Myself as one committed, and to wear <br />Those badges that the dedicated buy? <br />Am I a coward, skulking down the way <br />Of non-alignment, weak when you are strong? <br />Perhaps; but in my heart I'd rather stay <br />Where questions lie unanswered. I belong <br />Where I must argue with myself each day <br />This possibility: I might be wrong.<br /><br />Mary Spain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-badges/
