A thought-provoking poem; What makes some men commit unmentionable acts on a large scale? |
Wanton murder, rape, and genocide… the hapless victims have no escape, no where to run, no place to hide. Throughout all of Mankind’s history, in ethnic conflicts the more powerful side often resorted to these. Why’s a mystery. How does Man learn to hate so much that he desires to butcher other men and to gang-rape their women in such brutal fashion? What’s the answer then? How could evil so consume the heart that Nazis exterminated millions upon millions of Jews, making murder an art with gas chambers getting the job done? In Darfur, in Rwanda, black men fell upon other blacks, murdering hundreds of thousands, raping thousands as well. How is it possible for a man to be so filled with violence that he allows himself to commit these atrocities? Do not those he’s killed haunt his dreams and heavy upon his heart sit? Are such men dead inside, devoid of all human compassion, lacking any feeling save contempt (or apathy)? How small must the soul be ‘til genocide is appealing? Perhaps it is simply beyond all comprehension by any sane man what demons allow other men to commit these travesties so terrible to mention. Wanton murder, rape, and genocide… the hapless victims have no escape, no where to run, no place to hide.
