is that I will not be indifferent to suffering,

that I will not come to the moment of my death

having failed to do what I could.

is that I will not be indifferent to injustice,

that I will not merely turn the other cheek

after the first has been clawed.

is that I will not be indifferent to war;

it is a terrible monster that tramples

the people’s innocence.

is that I will not be indifferent to deceit;

if a traitor cannot be stopped from having his way,

at least let it not be soon forgotten.

All that I ask of God

is that I will not be indifferent about the future,

not despairing like those who abandon their home

to make a new life in a foreign culture.

is that I will not be indifferent to war;

it is a terrible monster that tramples

the people’s innocence.
