Humans.
The peak of evolution.
Lords of the world.
God's special children.
'Trust in Man,' they say.
Have faith in your fellow human.
For we are good.
We are just.
We are merciful.
A woman
Forever scarred by the stranger in the dark.
A boy
Left alone with his nightmares.
A child
Afraid of her own father.
For we truly are good.
A man
Waiting for his last day.
A girl
going to the bathroom after family dinner.
A dog
Put to sleep for being a dog.
Thus we are just.
A child
Giving his life to protect his home.
A man
Forced to kill or be killed.
A country
Destroyed for being what we are not.
Because we are merciful.
