it's said that those who guard life well
aren't injured by soldiers in battle
or harmed by rhinos or tigers in the wild
for rhinos have nowhere to sink their horns
tigers have nowhere to sink their claws
and soldiers have nowhere to sink their blades
and why
because for them there is no land of death.

Somehow, I think this link speaks to the essence of the verse above.
