Peace Talker

He talked of peace, of bliss, of happiness. He was idolized by anyone who heard him. They would say he is the man of the
century, he will stop this unruly war. To them he was a saint, to them he could do no wrong. He could talk his way out of any
argument, stop a fight with words not his fist. He was a great man. He would go home, away from his podeum, and drink a little
to calm down from his daily struggle, then beat his wife when she slipped up.
