What is Right?

[A/N - This is a little poem with a message that Skipper has found many years before most humans do, but that doesn't make it any easier to follow.]

.

Time goes gently away

Over-shadowing vile memories of war.

But aren't caused through violence.

Ending with resentment deceiving too

acts in nightmares of betrayal.

Let those for heaven be doomed.

Even more righteous people don't

ask mothers if they can use the

life destined for their adolescent offspring

for the killing of monsters and heathens.

Regret follows choices.

Skipper knows this well.

Did you get the message?

To be a leader

means to make

sacrifices

even though

you don't

want to.
