"en est tous des sauvages"
went the poster -
a wooden board -
left dangling
on a hanging man's
chest
On the movie screen
they chose french
as the
sauvages
the vicitm
a pawnee
he was left hanging
on a tree branch
so high
yet
the image of the
hanging man's body
seemed to make
each one of us
cringe
looking at the hanging
body
Feel ashamed, low
depraved.
Depraved
of the one quality
we all are striving for
civility
respect
dignity
to every human
we meet
every stranger
we cross
every life
form we encounter
And yet
we are failing
and failing
and failing
despite 2 milleniums
2 MILLENIUMS !!!
2000 YEARS !!!
Of our civilisation !!
we still have within us
pockets
that are as backward
or sometimes
even worse
than what we were
2000
years ago
we still have people
leaders
thinkers
faithfull
believers
who want
nothing short
of
annihilation
wither brother ?
how long ?
