you can answer the Phoenix’ call.
you cannot do it for a price
not for glory, not for praise, not for your happy price
you cannot do it because you should.
you cannot do it knowing it is your last chance.
there is a kind of courage, honor, integrity
only ever known when you know not the cost of your action
and then must choose.
a person calculative, prudent, sane, for good
can’t answer the Phoenix’s call
for good.
is it the good choice?
a person desperate, reckless, defiant, for good
can answer the Phoenix’s call
for good.
is it the good choice?
none will ever know.
