Aftermath

The headline reads
Pure Evil
and I weep
for those who live.

The dead suffer no more
Yet their blood
has made a poison
which the people swallow whole;
the venom of unthinking hatred.
"Vengeance!" they cry.
"We are mighty. You are weak.
You are cowards. We are noble.
We will crush you!
We will make you suffer!"
Hasn't there been enough
suffering?

The headline reads
Pure Evil
and I weep
for those who live.

the terrorist attacks on the USA on 11th September 2001)
