There are those that are born into this world and joy fills the spirits of all.
Then there are those that dye violently and before their time and sadness fills the spirit of all.
The Peace makers shall prevail and peace shall come at last.
The warriors shall retreat and leave their swords for plows and work the land to find peace as well.
