"In peace our nations unite"
...to do exactly what?
Wring our hands in horror?
Write to the Gazette?
Retreat to the safety of our invisibility?
The sanctuary of our silence?
Quiver, hidden in the doubtful safety of the masses?
Most people will do this,
lament the tragedy and let it slide with a shake of the head and a frightened, pious silence...
When in actual fact.....
what we all should do is take up the drum and beat it deafeningly, furiously...and together, roar our fury to the powers that be....
That they take up the sickle and pursue these creatures to the end of the earth and deal to them once and for all!
Amen
