instructions for a life

arm yourself
sharpen the dull blade
at every opportunity
cut through the obfuscation
to salience

do not ask me how
arm yourself
learn every trick
observe closely
the larger conceals the smaller

focus effort
discover discernment
arm yourself
practised humility
avoids self righteous

assumption
assume naught
forgive your errors
arm yourself
laugh play enjoy

love selflessly
give freely
accept graciously
participate fully
arm yourself
