I am proud of you ***
well done so far
I knew from the start you're smart enough to handle this
listen its about survival
self preservation, looking after NumΓ©ro une
you didn't travel three thousand miles to be any ones fool
No siree, its about survival and making the best of things
we know what's in store, we know how the cookies crumbles
and we know sometimes, if not most times you bend with the winds
and with Conscription
there's little choice but, Yes I'm in
yes, it pains your heart and the guilt hurt
but you're smart and strong and know you can't play
Conscientious Objector
its not like you don't have enough on your plate just surviving
against all the other odds
we all know the score and what dissention will bring
Do you know that Steve who is the most capable grounded man I know
shook his head in dismay
and I can still see his eyes well up as he uttered
Its bigger than both of us
So ***, I know its not about you or how you really feel
its about contrivance, acceptance, benefits, peace and limited freedom
its about the right to survive within the chains
to feel human and reasonably alive
Bonne chance  et bon courage and all that jazz, mon ami !!!
