Savagery Reigns
How idiosyncratic is the human animal.
There is among us higher primates
those whose pure goodness and
inherent decency acts as a balm to the
wretched misery imposed by the race's
psychopaths caring nothing for the
pain and suffering their actions cause
to others. And among that species is a
sub-species whose glaring impacts on
the human weal destructively ferocious
in its impact to achieve an end fostering
power and command on behalf of tyrannies
resulting in populations reeling in pallid
self-defense for which there is no solace
to the massive onslaughts perpetrated
by their tormentors reflect a world where
the powerless may be persecuted without
end. Where foreign powers look on
with dismay insufficient to mount aid
rescuing the unfortunate from the doom
blackening their horizon and robbing
their futures. From Hitler to Stalin
Mao to Pol Pot, Saddam to Assad whose
hatred aligned with their pernicious
egotistical hubris and misanthropy for
whom bloodshed was merely a means to
their desired end mounted upon the legions
of defenceless whom they exterminated
the world of humanity deplored and wept
seeing fit to surrender to apathy restraining
any efforts, however pitiful, to intervene.
