moral fiber

moral fiber
a phrase with few examples
too few of us willing to stand
on what we believe in
the stuff of stories
of histories written
moral fiber
within the few, the valiant
setting an example for all

moral fiber

Sir Thomas More
defying Henry VIII
to stay true to his faith,
subject of the play and film,
“A Man for All Seasons”
quote from Thomas More,
from “A Man for All Season”,
talking of why he puts his faith in the law and in God,
see comment number 4.
“I would give the Devil the benefit of the Law” (for my own safety's sake)
