Peace and War (Si vis pacem, para bellum original title)

"If you seek peace, prepare for war..."

 

So, as you are scanning these words you think you are discovering my mind... I wonder how much it will hurt you both when you read this: "I've left you far behind" Ouch...isn’t  it kind of ironically strange, this conversation we three are having? You know, the one that's supposed to be private, the one that you are, at this moment, reading… Well, surprise, surprise, isn't this a pleasant shock, that I know your prying eyes have snuck back? Ahhh...I am not alarmed - this is one area where consistency is something you never will lack. Goodness, don't be dramatic, I'm only a tiny tease. You find what I write reminiscent of insanity's brink? Don't be afraid, those carelessly composed stanzas... Well, in fact, they really do express what I think. By the way, I had to add just one more thought: when you ask "have we fallen in her trust that far?" rethink your faulty conclusions - who you think I am… because when I desire peace, I prepare for war.
