My heart is torn between two things
Truth is represented within each
Both have consequences which it brings
The answers are what I cannot reach

One is indeed a noble quest
Born of the ideal that I hold dear
To lay tyrany to final rest
But its advocates I also fear

I wonder what transpires behind the scenes
Hushed wispers of doom are what frightens
While the seeds of hate drive the means
And the tension hightens

With the questers I cant agree
Though I support their stated cause
To much darkness in them I see
Thats the problem that gives me pause

How does one begin to reconcile
The difference between these two
Something so good and yet so vile
This question I pose to you

Which set of truths and lies is right
When both paths are riddled with doubt
I dont know which side I should fight
I pray my heart finds the true rout

Wesley - I don't have the answer. All I know is, like Dr.Phil says, "You choose the behaviour, you choose the consequences." This is what frightens me. Good write. Chris
