Cruelty

1.

I would do anything for you,
my king, queen, president, leader, god...

I would kill thousands for you,
MILLIONS!

I would displace thousands...
MILLIONS!

I would make millions suffer.

I would steal everything from them
for you,
my god[s] in human form.

I would torture for you.

I would do unspeakable acts for you.

I would do things unimaginable for you.

I would cause great suffering for you
my god[s].

All you have to do is ask...ORDER!

I will do anything you ask of me...just ask.

"...."

What?

"...."

Love one another?

Help the people?

Help each other?

ARE YOU KIDDING!

I listend to Elie Weisel's book, "Night," on CD. A story of unimaginable cruelty suffered and witnessed by the author in the Nazi concentration camps during WWII. And I know there are many stories like this. Many horrors of "man's inhumanity to man." Stories from throughout history. Stories happening here and now of the sufferings our fellow human beings impose on our fellow human beings: Sudan, Sierra Leone, The United States, Iraq, Canada, Afghanistan, etc.

They say:
"Never again."

I ask:
"When are we gonna make it stop?"
