Eat the Enemy Alive

E-at the enemy alive, L-osing not the competition; Y-our strength comes from God N-o evil can weaken your conviction. I-n life's struggle you must prevail, D-ay twenty-one in July; A-llow your mouth to tell the truth, denying the devil's lie. B-e brave and be strong E-nough to win and survive; C-onquer your doubt and fear T-o eat the enemy A-live.

Love the message in this poem, Bernard. The title caught my eye. Using the image of possible cannibalism was intriguing ... glad it wasn't literally about cannibalism, lol! Excellent poem though. Enlighten me on a couple of things please. ELYNIDA BECTA means what? And what is the significance of July 21? Ty for shedding any light on the meaning of this terrific poem. May love light your path always.
