Right must not live in idleness, <br />Nor dwell in smug content; <br />It must be strong, against the throng <br />Of foes, on evil bent. <br /> <br />Justice must not a weakling be <br />But it must guard its own, <br />And live each day, that none can say <br />Justice is overthrown. <br /> <br />Peace, the sweet glory of the world, <br />Faces a duty, too; <br />Death is her fate, leaves she one gate <br />For war to enter through.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/preparedness-2/
