Insensitive

How far removed
our glassy stare
the glare of steel walls
blood drains beneath the floors
perfected concentration camps
improved upon design
sought advice from experts
to understand minds and undermine
those we want to take from
harvested secretions
commodified rape
successfully defined a framework
that legitimizes murder
we can proudly differentiate
killing floors of serial killers
and the domain of abattoir
hung upon hooks,
screaming for their lives
they want every last minute
every second do they strive
Our cruel antipathy
leaks from bleeding throats
still living as their bodies are
unceremoniously dismembered
of innocents born and tortured
infants gassed to death
the numbing realisation
weve become that which we fear
the echoes of our past
we have become that which we fear
