THE OCCUPIERS

Throughout history

Those who spill the blood 

of others are always surprised

to witness their own blood

flowing; embracers of violence,

the sight of their own flesh

laying dead and wounded

makes them, proud killers,

hysterically cry "Revenge!

Thus, collective punishment;

weeping killers 'avenging' killings

to end killings of their own,

so that they can go on

killing in 'peace', as

their god(s) intended.
