    I Will Not Compromise

     You say I’m too hard, but I say I’m just not easy
    You say I’ll never get a man, and I say not if I have to be sleazy
    You say that I judge others because of what they do
    Have I judged anyone because I choose a life of virtue
    Because I have certain standards I choose to follow you say that I’m wrong
    Am I supposed compromise my values and just take anyone who comes along
    I guess you think that I should just get on with the world’s program
    Lower my standards, do away with the covenant I have made so that I can get a man
    I say I’m waiting on God, and you say I’m spooky
    I’m waiting for my Boaz, not some fool they call Pooky
    You say because I like to go to nice places and enjoy fine things I’m a gold digger
    Well, I’m one of the King’s kids, and I’m not walking down the aisle with some broke.............
    Just like Jesus did right, when we try to do what’s right we’re despised
    I don’t care what you or anyone else says, I will not compromise

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
