These brave who resisted the King’s command.
In this matter it is our duty to disobey.
This too is our demand.
Follow the spiritual not the lay.
Tolstoy’s death of worms and stench.
It is nothing , only for the body.
This life is not our only workbench.
We can reject all that is tawdry and shoddy.
We need not fear anything in this life.
Indeed nothing is very important.
Because death will end all our strife.
Even if now it feels all too distant .
Death is preferable to disobeying conscience.
In all conscience.
……
Why worry in life
Soon all will be extinguished
For better or worse
