Bumped into Allan G Johnson

on http://www.agjohnson.us/

and was introduced to Bonaro Overstreet

picked this from his (Allan's)  web page

Stubborn Ounces
(To one who doubts the worth of doing anything if you can’t do everything)

You say the little efforts that I make
will do no good; they will never prevail
to tip the hovering scale
where Justice hangs in the balance.
I don’t think I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
in favor of my right to choose which side
shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.
Bonaro Overstreet
