Any moment now
I could stab someone
Someone could blow my insides up
rivers of blood could run
Decency is a veneer we wear in peacetime
Anytime the beast within
Can rear up and rip hearts and heads off
That is to be human
Not humane
The human being is a very different kind of animal
Capable of cruelty torture
Of causing despicable harm to the other
When reading about such wide scale killing and suffering
Holocaust. Vietnam war
The genocide in other parts
The ridiculous long civil war in Syria and Sri Lanka
Where is God
That image. Of a father running carrying his two year old daughter
Its heart breaking.
But for the grace of God go I
How could JFK sleep knowing he had authorised napalm on people?
How can any world leader sleep knowing he has killed instead of protected his people
Please let only noble minded people lead. Not selfish manipulative despots
