Enough of the stillness!!!,
The warriors are merciless,
Citizens must journey armed,
That they may not be harmed.
Acquiring and gathering all kits,
Remaining always on their feets,
Giving no room for slumber,
No accommodation for fumbler.
No time to spread bread with jam,
No time to remain so calm,
Not time to smack lips with gloss,
Not time to drag who's boss.
Now is no time to be in bed,
That the cities be not splashes of red,
It's time to do it right,
By waking to the fight.
To Quit playing it nice,
And indeed throw the dice,
Time to sharpen the sword,
Time to come on board.
Fiercely to cork the gun,
And with agility be on the run,
Ammunitions for all even the lad,
That none be caught off guard

The poem "Soldier in all" seeks to call for an awakening and equipping , as many have been seen to merely accept the worst as mere fate.
It seeks to encourage a rising in this times of despair,as it believes in the power that resides in all. It is a short simple poem that tries to echo a sense of necessity through it's lines. It generally considers life as a fight that both the young and old should be prepared for.
It ends with the line "that none be caught off guard" as it seeks to condemn ignorance, disbelief and every form of excuses.
