BELIEFS
Leave writing to the professionalsSomething of a trap
Chapter 12
Then Wayne thought mightily for a full minute,
2And finally asked a question, as follows:
3“If I declare that I am willing to die for my beliefs, will you then acknowledge the truth of what I have told you?
4“For certainly I care about you all very much, on behalf of jyour friend down south,
5“And it is possible that I might be induced to kcompromise my philosophical principles as you seem to demand,
6“Provided that I could be sure you would place credence in my most basic precept,
7a“Which is that nothing is worth dying for,
8“And you shouldn’t risk it.”
