Judith Viorst Quote

Though we march in demonstrations,
Write checks to fight injustice and disease,
Defend the wetlands, ozone layer, and whales,
The whole world's in a terrible mess.
Yet we persevere nevertheless because
We can't let it get any worse,
And the world would become even worse,
The world would be a lot worse
If we stopped trying.
