and if i walk the way of peace
it could mean death
the death of me is what i mean
and of my friends
but if i walk that way despite
such consequence
with full appreciation of
the risk i take
there is a chance (i do believe)
the world may find
the way of death may yet become
the way of change
and notwithstanding that belief
i’m terrified
because I do not want to die
but i will walk
this way of peace, because i truly
do have faith
regardless of the the chance of death
or injury
it is the one path which might still
remake this world
