I will not walk the road to war
not succumb to fear
or become numb to what my ears hear.

Truth is humanity.
Compassion is the highest morality.
Violence is the ultimate failure.

I live to live,

Thrive to give what I have to give
forgive when I can,

Understand
what I can of each woman, child,
and even you my friend
a war like man.

But, I will not trample the masses
to satisfy the wicked desires
of a handful of old corporately corrupted men.
