"In peace there is nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility:   But when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger; stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; then lend the eye a terrible aspect; .... now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit to his full height.   On, on....

— William Shakespeare

 

We have shown you Things.
 
Wonderful, Terrible, Things.
 
We have only just begun....

Do not forget
that your “enemy”
never sees ‘himself’ as evil
in hiz own eyes.
 
This may allow you
to make ‘him’ your friend.
 
If not,
you can kill ‘him’ quickly,
and without hesitation.
 
Then turn around
and calmly walk away.
 
With a small smile.
 
And perhaps,
yes, perhaps with
a pathos-laden chuckle,
or two.
