To stand on the sidelines
Not to fight for something unAmerican
Is truly the most patriotic of duties.
To stand idly by
And to not kill someone not your enemy
Is truly the most honorable action.
To take that 20 footer and still find love in your heart
That is the most human of actions.
Even if it seems more and more unlike the humans you know.
To be but a glimmer of peace
In a nation striving for anything but
Is God’s clear commandment for us all.
To love thy neighbor
Although thy neighbor is an ass
Is what all that of God has taught.
To seek for love as your neighbors lob bombs
Does not make one less honorable than those who lob them
It is the most honorable of work.
So, while you master war
I will master peace, in the essence of that which made me
In that I will fight until I die.
