PREPAREDNESS

Right must not live in idleness,

Nor dwell in smug content;

It must be strong, against the throng

Of foes, on evil bent.

Justice must not a weakling be

But it must guard its own,

And live each day, that none can say

Justice is overthrown.

Peace, the sweet glory of the world,

Faces a duty, too;

Death is her fate, leaves she one gate

For war to enter through.
