Set thy weapon down, sir knight
there’s nothing here to slay
no sweeping damsels off their feet
in a war of hearts and minds
that plate must weigh so heavy
on shoulders sagging beneath burdens
that were never yours to carry
better left to those around you
that may learn to share the load
no need to rush so quick to battle
let proverbial horses lie
just take a hand and stand beside
you don’t have to lead the way
