Those who carry out genocides
always think themselves as the victims
of their victims, claiming past deeds
that would justify what can't be justified,
imagining future retribution to come
if they would now stop the slaughter
and not be thorough in the butchery.
They always claim themselves
as the true victims, no matter the guise
of nationality, ideology and religion
they wear, these genocidaires. That's
how they wash away the blood
in their own eyes, and then expect
that the world will give them
a blanket to dry themselves too.
