Riots begin in the mind as fear
Planted by those who harvest it
It is turned into hatred of what
Is feared and goaded to obliterate
The other, lacking in numbers ---
When the minions of evil have
Had their fill of kills that would
Have horrified horror itself
Women willed men to violate
The women of the enemy
Shaming shame itself ----
When the fires have been doused
The dead buried and bemoaned
Cases filed against predator and prey -----
The survivors rendered refugees
Can still pray for the return
Of the mind which cries
For others and feels their sorrow
As no different from its own.
