Pacifists don't get anywhere
but neither do the War Pigs.
Eternal peace breeds eternal
love.
Eternal war breeds eternal
hate.

Looking a gun in the face,
just a finger away from the great beyond
and doing nothing about it
and accepting that your soul will go on
won't do you any good.

Your family weeps and your future bleeds
out on the hard concrete in the faces of everyone
who has ever loved you and hoped for you.
You don't have to win
but you have to fight.
You don't have to sin
but you've got to have
might.
You have
the right.
You have
your sight.
So just
fight.
And you
will
go
on.
