Another year..
The sky cried. Tears of bitterness. Trying hard to wash away the shame. the indignity of the world..the disgrace..
they are the superiors..they posses hearts and brains..unlike other species..they were given compassion..

Fear crawled slowly into their soul..paralyzing their limbs.
Under the table they hid. Behind their locked door, they waited..and when the dawn broke. six feet under, their lifeless bodies laid. The rain hit the shards of their - unlocked door..as if water could erase crimson stains.


Compassion..they were given compassion..
Can a compassionate heart slaughter? Can it blast roofs and then hide behind political obligations? Can it beat after stopping another from doing so? Can it?

They sat on what once was a tree.its branches turned into twigs. Its leaves into dust. Its roots, once standing, lay underneath those black boots. Smashed.dead. not breathing. Their green helmets shielded their heads from harm. Their weapons tucked under their arms. For safety. For power. For defense. For murder.

Humans..They harbour so much hatred towards their own, feeling a sick twist in their gut. Hidden desire to kill,maim, destroy.
werent they the ones who nursed that little bird and mended its broken wing? Werent they the ones who helped strangers collect their fallen things? Werent they the ones who stopped their cars so pedestrians could cross the street? how can they defend their own from pain, and yet cause it?
They seek revenge on those who wrong them, and they protect their loved ones with a brutal ferocity, hunting down those who cause them pain and wreaking vengeance with all their might. Human nature is dark and light, black and white, with infinite shades of grey in between.
