"Hello, Atrus, my old friend.
"But that's not you! Who did you send?"
And then Saavedro, loudly shouting,
Ran to me, intent on clouting,
And the hammer that was planted in my brain
Gave me pain.
It was a scene of violence.
On Riven's paths I walked alone,
Touched a linking book unknown.
I was caged and Gehn was not nice.
I turned his command to link through down thrice.
Then my eyes went dim when I saw I had made him frown.
He gunned me down,
And made a scene of violence.
And in the cavern gloom I saw
Ten thousand corpses, maybe more.
People dying without linking.
People killing without thinking.
People suffocating from the poison gas.
I cried "Alas!"
Seeing this scene of violence.
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
"Violence ain't the way to go.
"Look for moral hints from Yeesha.
"Though she's weird, peace she will teach ya."
But my words like Garternay were lost
And dismissed as some dross by violence.
And explorers were so glad:
There was war 'twixt good and bad.
But my mind told me that sorrow
Would come from this war of bahro.
But the Cyan said, "The nature of humans is written:
"It's so exciting
"To see some fighting.
"So we need all those scenes of violence."
