It is all good metaphorically speaking, but when you talk of this greater good you should remember that it might be not you life required but someone else's. Could you still take that life?

I can say sometimes I wish I got too. But other times I think to myself I'm glad I'm not that guy. For when your under a microscope mistakes are costly. Sometimes your hated for what you have came into not of your own doing. Could you be fall guy for somebody else mistakes without lashing out at them? Could you accept their is nothing you can do to fix certain problems and and fix the ones you know you can before you even think about worry about them. Triage is certainty above uncertainty. Could you defy the people for the people. It is way more complicated then just one. Though it still most certainly a great poem.
A strong advocacy of peace with this universe, great write and well versed.
