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 and Putin

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
