Should I Reconsider My Obstinance?

Should I reconsider my obstinance?
With the acknowledgement,
That a bolder world...
Appears on the threshold.
And my lip syncing songs of peace...
Can actually be now voiced and heard,
Repetitiously.

Can I,
On this day believe...
My obstinance kept in silence,
Can be screamed with abandonment.
And I will not be arrested,
For keeping my persistence...
Against conflict and its nonsense.

Or...
Should I just leave?
Knowing that the maverick I had been claimed to be,
Has now achieved a following!
And those wolves disguised in sheep clothing,
Have been exposed for the hunt!
With a discovery of my activities,
As being more beneficial than threatening!
