Harness these demons
Or saddle up with calumnious
intentions.
Thrash away these weeds
Open up my attire,
Prepare for strife.
Quarantine my behavior
Ship direct to Lazaretto
Isolation.
(I am not for you,
Sweet.
Not for you.)
Skin deliquesces
if held too tightly.
And armor is a prerequisite
for idolatry,
Grab swords with haste.
Give no quarter
without hinder.
Anticipate dire staits.
(I am not for you,
Dear.
Not for you)

That was pretty sweet...
in a scare me away sort of way.
Improved my vocabulary
