and agree that there is no winner, no loser,
only people who have wearied of fighting

that peace was more important than vengeance.
That is always the choice to be made.
The organizers of an April 10, 2009

of the Northern Ireland dead,
comprised of members of the once-outlawed Sinn Fein
as well as their once-avowed enemies,
referred to, "the terrible, random nature
of death in war and civil conflict."
