Disabled from a bitter conflict with a surgical knife

If there was a possibility I would give away my wings

Give my wings to you so you could fly away from the bombings
Expressing a willingness to protect and help others by metaphorically giving away one's wings for their safety.

Your advice could be to demilitarize
