Ever consider the dark side of the dark side?

Genocide

Violent death should be personal

Between two to whom it is all;

Or between one who clings to life

And one who sheds care to perform the deed.

People were never meant to die

Like links of sausage being squeezed empty

Between crushing mechanical rollers,

Or snuffed out all at once like boxes of lit candles.

Nature made death personal and important

To both the dying and the survivor-

Modern man stole credit and blame from one

And purpose from the other,

Making death empty and killing a bother

Where eyes never meet in denouement.
