I as usual started to write with some music and the Man in Black singing of Vietnam then Ethic Cleansing came in
The words asking why come afterwards

************************************************
Pain borne of vengeance
Your reward
Life
Decisions
Few enrich the many
Enriching the few
Burrowing inside their insides
Aside
The smell of death
Reducing to
The fear of death
And future

*****************************************

I as usual, probably ask leave to ask why

We have supported Dictators killing their people for so long that you ask why we have the United Nations apologising for what it could do nothing to stop

We know what is happening but can I ask this question

Why the hell do people keep accusing someone else of not stopping them from killing each other

If we consider them an ally and an alley, we watch them kill each other

Can we either sought ourselves out and them or find someone else to blame but admit that we are doing it

No-one deserves to die, but more than ever we dont need for them to die when they are being used to die for those in power and those we allow to die in peace because a politician can't live off it.

So true. Yes, I wonder true.

I'd say amen to that but in the light of your comment it would seem trite and that was why in ethnic cleansing I wrote:

Few enrich the many
Enriching the few
Burrowing inside their insides
Aside
The smell of death

Ethic cleansing like the ideas for my first attempt at a book were written years ago and as usual posted on the Open Scroll.
