What are we fighting for?
Integral to the design is devotion,
Giving, and yes, weakness too.
Everyone hopes it were strength or mere opposition.
The choice of the shepherd over the warrior;
Trumpet over the turret, birds over music boxes.
How many examples do you need?
Eternity is alluring but remaining conscious
Presents the better balm of Gilead.
If you ask Ulysses now, no doubt he'll
Cede: It takes more bravery to weave
Tear out and reweave for love, than conceal
Usurpation within a gift for a belief's
Revenge and a matron's vanity.
Enough, and better, to build a home and keep one's sanity.
