It is true …but what if?

Formed from the clash of stars …

Born in a furnace hotter than the hottest…

Forged in and out of a crucible of intense violence …

Human-to-human violence seems disproportionate to love

But …

What if we grab this impulse to violence

at its stem and, using STEM, breach its inner defenses

What if we tease out the disparate strands of this violence

What if we then tame it from its source, and render it less senseless
