Armed And Dangerous

Preparations for war
For the enemy is at hand
The self, greatest battle ever fought
Thoughts and concepts bandits or the band

Covering for the body and soul
Armament to protect or defend
The attacks both within and without
Selfishness and the mighty demand

Protective
Just what concepts and thoughts keep
Prescription
What lives or dies in the heap

Military force and might
Conquering the self
A one man or Woman mission
All other battles tabled on the shelf

Suffering
Plenty to go around
Tears and fears to boot
Victory in few to be found

Injury
Give no thought till battle done
Inquiry
Give no time till victory is won

Killed
Not until the death of the self
Stilled
Only when self is dead and the new birth has health
