you who dare to choose,
thus the risk incurring,
after calculating the oddities,
accepting the perfidies
that others will present
with deceptive smiles,


but
once done,
let it be your single solitary
chosen life, a bridge, and a red
badge of courage, and let us all
say life is the reward for being true,
and honorable
