Going to War: Good Versus Evil

Take off your shield, strip out of your armor
And let your sword drop to the floor because
I am not going to hurt you. I am no charmer
Trying to get in, but I want to take a big pause
To admire your scrapes, bruises and wounds
Because you have been to war a hundred
Times, yet you are still here. Your moods
Try to hide, but your empty and plundered
Mind is what I am trying to walk through.
Your spirit and body is worn down, taking
On the turmoil of what life brings to you;
A world of too much baggage and making
A war out of emptiness. You want nothing
More than to rest your weary and tired
Heart, but you pick up your sword as a king
Does. You have motivated and inspired
Thousands of people to become a fighter
Although it is no easy task. You collect
Ash and dust. You are like a match or lighter
Because you burn all the bad. You protect
All of the good in this world while trying
To fend off the evil and bad spirits that
Attempt to put it all at risk. You are purifying
Everything that used to be extremely flat.
