You are my
Violent desire
A lover that
Does not tire

For all those who are violent
They may don't like religion,
They may not believe in God
There was a "mother",
To think her gave birth was sinful!

and trembles 
under the hands 
of the violent. 
I raise a white flag, 
not to surrender, 
but to share 
a message of peace...
