Quo Vadis

Where are you going and why are you going there What is it that’s happening, and why do you care Why do you go, what is the purpose of your quest Too also, with the mysteries of love and compassion be blessed Or to bear witness to a life put to death, yet who also forgave While you were not there, you ran away; your life to save By persecution and fear, your faith you had spurned Yet, in the caverns of your mind, it still burned Your servitude, put in question by your cowardice Is rewarded only, when you realize you are powerless Returning there now that you’ve been confronted To spread the word, while being pursued and hunted Now, why do you go and of what do you speak To your death Peter, for those words we all seek BOEMS by JA 590
