The scripture says

That they will beat their swords

Into plowshare. But when?

Exactly when they decide to, I suppose.

And who is they?

Anyone who chooses, I suppose.

And so if it is coming for us anyway.

Then why not start now?

After all, there will never be many

Until there have been a few.

And doesn't few begin with one?

And if one, why not you?

And yet, you’re a bit too late

To be the One, the First,

The Example to us all.

He came and died

Because His sword

Was bent the wrong way.

He forsook His life for many.

And showed us how

To bury our weapons of war

Deep into the earth,

And by so doing,

Sow a crop of peace

Though we pay for it with our lives.
