Some say it’s human nature to kill
and that we all have bias,
but we are not blind to violence,
and can read the signs.
The tragedy is that the narrative
persists with different characters,
one sad story after another—
and time passes only to repeat,
a refrain, a litany of terrible, I mean
how hard must the hearts of them be
who find value in the pain of others,
...

@A0000 I'm sure this will help my Mastodon instance run great!! Not sure how, but maybe I'll figure it out! Surely you didn't use the Mastodon tag maliciously....nah, you'd NEVER do that!🙄
