[bodytext] => Example of Hatred!…(©Peter Sprenkeler) From out of the darkness…the evil hoard arrives, Bent and determined to ensure…no victim survives. To a man hatred in each heart courses and thrives, They have come here solely to take innocent lives. They shoot and hack and slay in merciless rage, In the annals of barbarity…another infamous page. In the worst acts of inhumanity…this band engage, Scores are left dead…in this insane rampage. Women and children…defenseless they cower, As bullets and machetes upon them are showered. Helpless innocents…wasted by hatred’s awesome power, Mankind descended even lower…in that blood-soaked hour. The refugees sought safety…outside the Rwandan land They fled from the country of chaos and murder’s hand. And yet hatred followed them…the intensity few understand, The refuge became a mortuary…by hatred carefully planned. Ethnic hatred and barbarity…mankind by it cursed, The ferocity of it on this occasion…by far the worst. As always the innocent and helpless are targeted first, Across the world this tragic phenomenon has burst. The Tutsi and Hutu are entangled in this lethal plight, But they are just two nations of many…uneasy tonight. For hatred is never satisfied…never concerned with right, Its gruesome axe…it will swing with deadly delight. Hard to imagine the depths to which the soul will descend, Is there a cure for such hatred…where will it end? So many innocent lives from this world it will send, Hatred is death…a fact on which we can sadly depend.
