Analysis of turn
jo blo 0001 (WA)
turn the other cheek
when you are slapped in the face
violence breeds violence
do unto others as you would have them do unto you
love conquers all in time
tell that to a mother
lying on the kitchen floor
kicked by her husband
her children in horror
at the threat in his eyes
