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.
