***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
