Intro: A line from an old text re imagined…
Imagine if this problem…
One so prevalent…
Were to be condensed into one so malevolent being…
How would he be perceived…?
We tolerate him…
Let him wreak havoc upon so many…
As if their lives are not worth a bit of sympathy…
Not even a silent cry…
So quickly we forget the real victims…
As we often blame them for his sins…
Rather than those who have helped him…
Us along with the system…
Built with his blessings…
Have we no sense of what’s happening…?
