Cause and Effect
/It’s true that history may judge
Our acts and their consequences
That action may be hard
And that recognition and reward
May be deferred
But in truth
The world’s needs
Are in this moment
What we do today
Has immediate effect
And it is in the present
Where immediate effect is required:
To care for those who are suffering
To right wrongs
To instill justice
Do not be concerned with the verdict of history
Do not do what is merely expedient
Do not act with expectation of reward
Act
To give care
To do right
To bring justice
History will look kindly upon the result
The results will outweigh the effort
And the effect will be its own reward
