Analysis of not violence
Only love can keep you away from pain,
Otherwise you will seek blessings from pouring rain.
Why do you persist with a long monolog?
You must seek peace from meaningful dialog.
If your life's full of mystery,
All about you will be pure misery.
Victims' blood has surely uttered malediction
Upon you, which is everybody's prediction.
With whom have you signed this pact?
You kill a man, woman, and cat.
So the carnage has caused people great sorrow,
And your relations will probably be narrow.
We know that your warm embrace is a masquerade
Because you have betrayed some comrade.
Obey the call of good sense,
Obey the call of goodness!
Why have you lost your reason?
Your acts sound like a real treason.
Only love can keep you away from pain,
Otherwise you will seek blessings from pouring rain.
