To Die For

What would I die for,
if push came to shove.
What would I give
for the life of a love.

Would I be like John Wayne,
ride in head first.
Or like the disciple, Peter 
and deny with a curse.

Do I cling to life
with such desperate pity.
That my soul is blind
to the pain in the city.

When it’s time for courage,
to stand or to run,
when I look for answers,
I find there is none.

Where is it written,
this question I brave.
Is the response I seek
in some life I save.

History is replete
with cowards that crawl.
Heroes of valor
who nobly fall.

Is death not honored
when given for all.
And cowardice condemned
when refusing the call.

As a man thinks,
so shall he be.
Shackled to chains
or striving to be free.
					
I wish I knew a solution
as I go about life.									
As I enjoy its pleasures
and deal with its strife.

Is there anything I would die for, 
a question I continue to ask.

A better question:
Is life worth living 
if there's nothing
worth dying for.
