This man that’s doomed to life in a cell
was just 13
when he
killed.
Is that fair?
I don’t know,
but there’ve
been men
who killed in
bulk
whom History
lauds.
There are
those who are killed by the State
for killing
others,
and those who
are killed by the State
for being
Jews,
but there’s
no justice.
You, too, perpetrate.
You break
others
in ways
unique to you,
and, sure,
they break you too,
but there’s
no justice.
We are
brutes.
We slay the
flies
that torture lions
that torture
prey,
for nature,
too, is barbarous,
and nature is
us,
and we are
nature,
and the Word is
with God,
and the Word
is God,
but there’s
no justice
anywhere.
