With Wisdom...

I will not fight thee
with swords

I will not fight thee
with pistols

I will though challenge
with my deep imbedded
passion

you will not defeat me

with your violence

Tis my words of wisdom
that will lead you beyond
in deafening silence...

whence your spirit
may return a voice of reason...

...a spirit of love for all
seasons...

the world may listen
once more to your
heart...

your words fall on deaf
ears until then...

we hear you not
near or far
