Thanks for your comment Addy. I see what you mean in verse 1, I'll have a think on how to remedy that. Not sure what you meant in your comment in verse 2. The last two verses aren't in direct contradiction. Verse three is expressing that particular aspect, the violence inside, the weapon we can be. Verse four is leading up to the last line, that the character is human, and that despite the violence inside he/she is not a weapon (in the sense of the absolute), but that he/she is human and needs to remember that.
