Loaded ammunition,
With hands praying to be steady.
Vigilant in action,
But still staying war-ready.
With a closed armoury
filled with endless rounds,
I wrestle the devil’s army
and hold my ground.
I provoke my mind with thoughts-
ones that question the art of war
like the closed mouth paradox-
hidden artillery that keeps the foes far.
Like Goliath’s weaponry
and David’s sling and stone
It is not the strength of artillery,
But the grace of the soldier who holds.
