European history


has been unremittingly crammed
with war-crimes, famines, pogroms,
witch-hunts, land-grabs, mass-deportations, genocides
and other crimes against humankind,
domestic and wild animals, forests and the planet.
This is the culture and civilisation
that we are so proud of that we force it into
and make it penetrate and infect the remotest places,
via bombs and blasphemy, religion
and by the education of our victims' victims
so that they will bomb the remaininhg victims
into the totalitarian future.
Our most useful weapons are not our nuclear bombs
or drones,
but schools, museums, art galleries, greed, comfort
and hypocrisy.
