When I realized
No conflict
Could be resolved
Either by winning
Or capitulation
I began to understand
The true nature of conflict
No conflict
Could be resolved
Either by winning
Or capitulation
I began to understand
The true nature of conflict
The interplay
Of force
And resistance
The will of resistance
Is not stoppered
By defeat
The will of force
Is not sated
By victory
Peace
Is possible
Only when force
Is abandoned
And
It must be
Acknowledged
Resistance also
Is force
