Refusing to remove the guilty from power,
they contemplate removing the victims
from existence; there can be no guilt
when there are no victims, when
the dead, the dying and those
still to be killed are ignored,
unseen, unheard, even
when everyone can
hear the screams.
The victims
can't exist, neither
as piles of dead, rotting flesh,
bones gnawed by rats and family
dogs whose families have been killed
long ago, as survivors still huddling in ruins,
nor as a people, a nation, because then, because
then those lost in contemplation would have to act.
