Who Will If Not You

 “Who Will If Not You?”

Who will carry the banner high,

If you just watch the moments fly?

Who will shout when voices fall,

If fear becomes your final wall?

You wait for others to start the flame,

But later cry when you’re left in shame.

This world won’t change by silent prayer,

It needs bold hearts who truly care.

Don’t curse the cost of what you claim,

Don’t point at others, shifting blame.

If justice means so much to you,

Then walk the path, however blue.

What if Gandhi had stepped aside?

Or Bhagat had chosen fear to hide?

What if workers had never fought?

Your rights today — would they be bought?

Stop asking “What if I’m crushed or fined?”

Start asking “Why am I leaving others behind?”

The struggle’s not just to win or lose —

It’s choosing fire when you could refuse.

So rise today, not just to speak,

But to be the strength when others feel weak.

The tide will turn when you stand true —

The question remains: Who will, if not you?
