A man came by this evening, dancing like a puppet on his strings. 
He spoke of engineering. 
It's obvious he'd never built a thing. 
I had to smile and think a while. 
I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't build your peace." 
His personality, while charming, still betrayed an air of confidence inconsistent with criminal political dissent. 
I had to smile and think awhile. 
I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't fake your peace." 
A man came by this evening, we spoke about my future in this place. 
He asked if the party and the opposition could ever reconcile. 
I had to smile and think awhile. 
I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't make your peace."
