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.

Looks like we are in one BIG cycle to me..:)
There should have been a break statement in between or some phenomenon like noah's ark occurring more often! :)

unfortunately the only pause that does exist is to gather a big enough group to revolt..
But in the midst of all this pessimism, i think there is a ray of hope..
That will be my next post :)
