QUO VADIS

Where are you going and why are you going there
What is it that’s happening, and why do you care
 
Why do you go, what is the purpose of your quest
Too, with the mysteries of love and compassion, be blessed
 
Or to bear witness to a life, put to death, yet forgave
While you were not there, you ran away; your life to save
 
By persecution and fear, your faith you spurned
Yet, in the caverns of your mind, it still burned
 
Your servitude, put in question by your cowardice
Is rewarded only, when you realize, you are powerless
 
Returning there now, that you’ve been confronted
To spread the word, while being pursued and hunted
 
Now, why do you go, and of what do you speak
To your death Peter, for those words we all seek
