Of the body, mind, and spirit
As demons play friend, and council
Distracting eyes with their sparkle
Should we stand constantly aware?-Here you are urged to question authority, but not rebel for the sake of rebelling
Treating both as teacher, and foe
Whilst being self-mindful, and astute
Stand we fall prey only to self-The end is a warning that if you think for yourself always, after considering all arguments, if you fail to make the right choice or judgement, you have beaten yourself
I revised what you wrote, im not sure if that is appropriate or not, but here is what i suggest to improve it:
Do tell me, which one shall fall prey?-This paragraph talks of those who rebel, and are in turn persecuted into conformity

Setting afire every sense and thought
Whilst whipping them to subjugation
Or the ones who sit comfortable-This paragraph talks of those who accept all indoctrinations into the mainstream way of thinking, and in a way end up souless, passively accepting what they are told to believe.
In body, mind, and spirit
As demons play friend, and counselor

Failing only by lack of thought
