How strange we humans are in our fascination
with blood and gore, the fearsome, lurking grotesque
unexplainable forces that threaten us, the supernatural
and the hovering of ghastly skeletal figures carrying
scythes, ghosts of the avenging dead, curses and
spells, incantations, incarnation, demonic possession
objects that move of an inexplicable volition
the threat potential of strange heavenly objects
and aliens peering Earthward deliberating over
visiting a swift stroke of oblivion to the sphere
carrying proto-intelligence of a violent disposition.
For in humanity's other obsession, that of
waging conflict on one another there is ample gore
untold numbers of lives lost yet of little interest
to those fully engaged in terror inspired by the
imagination of creative horror-mongers while
those powerful figures who inspire and conspire
to murder on a mass scale are viewed with the
dispassionate gaze of total human indifference.
