An Unintentionally Covert Warrior

Do not ever think that I am peaceful, 

Many believe me a benign abbess,               

Because I don’t know how to be violent.

Don’tneglect those flung into the blender,

Those I’ve savaged who dared call me powerless.  

Do not ever think that I am peaceful.

For me there’s no real combat to render

 my soft hands bruised via a dull cutlass. 

Because I don’t know how to be violent.

You look to see rays shoot through my tender

Smile and miss my shattered, stormy mess.

Do not ever think that I am peaceful.

Shards of colored glass shaped in splendor

Pierce deep as I battle without regress.

Do not ever think that I am peaceful

Because I don’t know how to be violent.
