It can be used to fight disease
Wielded skillfully: it can be employed to defeat your enemies
It needs only to be displayed to cause fear to cower
But, I’ve got no further use for this suasion
I will put it away
My disease has left, or is at least in hiding
My enemies are now our enemies; my brothers and sisters share their strength
I have grown accustomed to unease and disquietude
I accept them as constant companions
The prompts were:
- I’ve got no further use for these
- writing is like sex
- courage is a weapon
