there is no morality in history
as it happens

the bad are no more damned than the good

as long as they live, free

except perhaps in their own minds

and a mind is a bastion no outsider

can ever fully take control of,

looting its riches and revealing its secrets

we can only hope that

vestiges of conscience

gave them nightmares

as the judgment of latter days

does not reach them

anymore than the compassion

of those that came afterwards

reached their victims
