Diff’rent fighters’ cause:
friendships giving them their claws,
friends a soothing gauze.
I play onlooker.
Not political hooker,
justice mistook-er.
You a stark remind
not some are willing to find
means to scavenge rinds.
I’ll play parallel.
Now afraid to break my shell,
avoid play-pen fell.
This way is better.
A means to write my letters
without their fetters.
Fight your cause strangers,
hoping you escape manglers,
words their broke anglers.
I’ll onlooker play.
You’ve your means to battle fray.
…Dharma paths its way.
