Politely Under Siege

Did you not realize that humans are by
their very nature gregarious creatures
instinctively craving the comfort of being
with others. Granted, mostly others of one's
tribe, community, religion, true, but that
communion is what helps make us human 
in our communication with others, and
language, we must understand is so very
important for empathetic reaching out to
others. Hence, those among us harbouring
aspirations for a kinder, gentler world praise
and value the concept of political correctness
the practise of which requires the mental
agility to side-step giving offence. Thus
the psychopaths among us are mentally ill
born that way, you see, and others taking
comfort in a fundamentalist group's pledge
to slaughter those unlike themselves and
who launch death-seeking rockets from
launch sites within crowded civilian quarters
in the hope that return fire targeting those
launch sites will take their toll of civilians
the better to claim their enemies at fault
not they, and those who aim continual
deadly strikes at the 'enemy's' borders
hoping to kill civilians as deserving
collateral damage, the process drawing
return strikes claiming for themselves the
status of innocent bystanders are named as
'fighters', not terrorists lest offence be taken.
