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
