To my adversary,
I’m writing this to you in time of harmony.
I do not wish to pluck the happiness out of you
Like a feather from a dying bird catching it last breath  
For that it is unjust.
I write to you to establish alliance.
If one day, we meet in a haze of violence
We can chat like old acquaintances
Who haven’t seen each other.
Let us enjoy peace
While it lasts.
