There were no options; peace unattainable-
I was surrounded by layers of brick;
Human ideas were not quite enough-
No alternative for me to pick.
Watching and waiting, I asked the hard questions,
Pushed through each layer till I saw the light;
I know in my heart some things are worth fighting for
And it takes time for day to replace the night.
