9919. My Body Unconsciously Protested

```

My body unconsciously protested

When I asked it to be wakeful.

My vital vehemently protested

When I asked it to be peaceful.

My mind cleverly protested

When I asked it to be soulful.

My heart cheerfully agreed

When I asked it to be helpful

To friends and foes alike.
