Peace is the butter, on the dry toast of mankind.

Conflict is a cockroach, who comes to consume the butter.

Peace is like a nap after a grueling day of work,

While Conflict is like an abrupt awakening in the middle of night.

Peace is a refreshing breeze on a scorching hot summer day,

Unlike Conflict, who is a freezing gale on an icy winter morning.

Peace is here! Tweet Tweet!

The sound of birds and the smell of lemongrass fills the air.

However when Conflict is here, Smash!

The sound of gunfire and smell of metal hangs in the air.

Peace is joy. Conflict is calamity.

Peace is loved. Conflict is despised.
