The Sacrifice

I have no enemies

I choose to take no prisoner

But the understanding of this is,

I choose to die

In a battle field where no one pulls the trigger as a sign of peace,

I pass my stick to the man who shot me for a smoke



I have no enemies,

I choose to protect nothing

The understanding of this is,

I have nothing to lose

In a world where everyone is bent on acquiring and leaving nothing for others,

I give the only thing I have away



I have no enemies,

I died for all

The understanding of this is,

I must be Jesus Christ

Hung by the very people I came to save in a bid to satisfy their need to do wrong,

But I still say 'my peace I give unto you'



I do have enemies

For I am no Jesus

My weakness born in me never forgets.

Yet, I strive each day to make meaning of his sacrifice

Today, when everyone practices religion and chooses self over everything and everyone else,

I pray to choose Him in every way and act.
