A little idealism won’t kill you
Swing the sword,
pull out the dagger
fight the demons,
but still, surrender
if they ask of you
not to be honourable,
but clever
If they give you a way out
but ask of you to hurt a heart,
choose chivalry,
instead of being cunning and smart
Choose
another fight you might lose
Let your noble choices
build your compassionate heart
that will pass through, untouched,
the walls built by those
trying to be
cunning and smart
