Holding the Victim to Account for the Aggressor


Unity of mind is a reflection of primitive tribalism.

Episodes of human history rife with baldly profane 

acts of human moral indecency intrude on the public

consciousness that somewhere in the world

an atrocity has taken place of such undisguised

savagery that emerging details shock and disgust

even those with little sympathy for the victims

or the aggressors. The very evidence of sadistic

cruelty unsurpassed by the most warped mind in

barbaric rituals of mutilation, rape and butchery.

A matter of pride and jubilation to those exacting

terror and bloodshed who carefully record their

blood-curdling depravity in proof of their sworn

dedication to deliver death in any form and with

any tortuous embellishments to innocent people

whom vicious psychopaths deem fit for death.

Even so, as outcasts from civilizational norms the

greater community with whom they share bloodlines

stand foursquare in support of these proto-human

outcasts, flinging aside their own facades of civil

order and homage to human rights in a display of

mutual tribal loyalties while holding the victims

guilty of overreach in their existential response.

Revealing the raw reality of the thin veneer of

societal justice inherent in civilized communities.
