The Pacifist

I do not have the answers
you seek...why ask? You know
I don’t.  Besides, my answers
are not for your meek, who grow
but do not grow – reap what little
you sow!~ and already, deep down, 
know.  

Then, why not a firmer
hand? Why not more, a committed
heart?~ thinking...not God nor the
devil would leave one, such as
you, even a non-precious part. 

The Meek Shall, and the meek
shall not….
