1. My kindness to those I do not love
And my gentleness to my enemies though my heart rages

2. It does not harm me to make peace with the company
My tongue makes peace with them but my heart wages war

3. If they light the fires of war I extinguish them
With soothing words that soften the difficult

4. Moderation is best between us
There is no good in a war fueled by partisanship
