When belief turns into obsession,
When hatred defeats reason,
When might ascertains right,
When anger numbs all emotion,
When the blinding lustre of success,
dims the importance of the means to attain it,
As the wronged fight for justice,
The mayhem that ensues,
will taint the purest of causes,
The victory will be blood stained,
The casualty totally unjustified.
There will be new victims,
avenging, gathering the critical mass,
to begin yet another crusade,
with the victim turning inflicter.
