turning the other cheek

sometimes you can't
turn the other cheek, you
have
to strike back.

you can't let evil rule
this world and get away with
what they do, leaving a path
of wrecked souls
behind them.

you have to fight.
to give it back as good
as they've given
it to you. give them what
they deserve.

there are times for peace,
times for a truce,
or even retreat.

and then there are other
times,
when you fire up the cannon,
scale the walls
with sword
and flaming arrows,
and attack.
