All Are Arms In War

All stones are arms in war.

A day in my tutelage, 
In my father's corn-field,
I stood as Oranyan's plinth;
I heard the lion roar:
Why are you a statue son?

“My sickle Sir, I stuttered”.

"Strike now and don't be still,
All stones are arms in war;
Strike and be somewhere son".

So with my goatee beard,
In the Land, my pot was denied,
Should I be still as another hay?
His voice came like echo's wave :

"Strike now and don't be still;
All stones are arms in war;
Strike and be somewhere son".

So I applied the brawl of age
And became the city roustabout.
But the Father’s kingdom came
When gourd was given a chance
To give an account of the pot.
Now the head relieves the brawl.

Knock, knock; who is there?

“The throne has a cachet for you”.

So I look in retrospect 
And wish to tell you, my son:

Strike now and don't be still,
All stones are arms in war;
Strike and be somewhere son.
The royal will post the Laurel.
