Just to start anywhere,
Nanking,
the brutal rape of thousands
of Chinese women by the
Imperial Army of Japan.
Auchwitz,
the cold blooded murder and cremation
of millions of Jews
by the men and women of Hitlers army.
Dresden,
the fire bombing attacks on German civilians,
by American and British air forces.
Hiroshima,
the first Atomic Bomb strike,
leveling one city with one bomb.
Hue,
destroying a cultures art,
“to save it”.
Sarajevo,
Kabul,
The World Trade Center, Manhattan.
And the list goes on, forward and backward.
Atrocity is always Human,
and, since Man is Man Thinking,
Rational,
until we all hear from the Voice
in the burning bush,
“OK, that’s enough”.
