1821 - The Battle for Palembang

Interlocutory: Act IV

ENTER, MAN:

Love and Hate the same

A single coin, where two faces sit and dwell

If so, war and peace–and peace and war

Here I see, the nature of men, all good and bliss;

Here I see, the nature of men, corrupted, malice in intent

Such grim things, may they change?

I think not; and thus, even 'til end of days

Shall we stay the same?

Rapture, take me. No hopelays in me; merely a dying wish of easy death!
