Analysis of To do the right thing!



I use to go why me?
Some others have it easy!
We all have situations!
Mine is no less basic!
Then I realized, what if others stated not my business! While people get robbed and others seek crime I refuse to not use what's mine!
 All of us have talents!
The gift that makes us different from others!
 Yet, none of them would help us keep balance, if we simply took them and buried them in the mud!
I value your opinions, because I know we all have one! Instead of letting hate, conquer, my space I chose to find the things I have in common when its not easy with others to relate!
There are more than enough times in history that death became the final road!
The greatest leaders do not envy!
They use there qualities to stand with others that stood alone!
 I see a future of leaders!
 Different cultures colors back grounds and all!
Yet, one thing they all had in common, was that they chose to see the good in us all!
Truly, remember real love stands tall even against all odds!
