Always

We will always

Appear stupid to you
Till it's time to think something out
We will always appear timid
Till it's time to rise above self doubt

We will always appear not courageous
Measured by your concept of brave
Till there are real sacrifices to be made
Real lives to be protected and saved

We will always

Appear controlling to you
Till it's time to not be manipulated
Till it's time to do something instead of
Always question why we're hated

We will always appear inflexible
Like our life values are for the birds
Till it's time to offer up something
Besides big pompous gas bag filled words

But

Not being thought well of by you
To me is rather like a treasure
Rather like an award
That at times brings a hearty pleasure
