When Swords Stay Sheathed

a Poetic Tale of Inner Strength

The weak inherit no earth, only sorrow, Competence and vision forge paths to tomorrow.

Take your proper place with strength from within, Skills used with care prevent tragedy and sin.

Knowing when to act and when swords should be sheathed, When inner beasts must be tamed, violence breathed.

Prepare for life’s hardship, stand tall, stay aware, Build resilience to withstand tragedy and care.

Naiveté leaves bitter, duty left undone, Grow formidable yet peaceful, challenges won.

Don’t take a life when yours falls apart, Construct your character wisely, with patient heart.

The virtuous path is not malice or vice, It’s competence and wisdom — pay life’s price.

This world needs the wise who are strong from within, Who know when to act, and when not, will win.

Will you walk the path with swords sheathed and character built strong? When faced with darkness, will the light within guide you along?
