The last stand

I will not fight hate with hate,

 nor will I bellow and roil amidst my turmoil,

I will march amongst the masses, linked.

Holding to life and hope and love.

Silent we will walk,

each a connection to someone... something greater,

no word need be spoken,

let the silence be our voice,

As one.

We will march for the unjust and judged,

our heads to the sky,

and the blessings to the One on our faces.

We will not let fear and abuse

turn us to rabid dogs,

the rendering of flesh

will not return the lost.

A monk set himself alight for peace,

I can walk in silence and grace

for the same.
