Sparkling Venom

When the Powers of the West fail so badly in its morality, the Powers of the East shall raise the mirror and ask:

‘Who is the ugly one now?’

History is repetitive.

History is never learned from.

For it it was:

Lessons could have been learned from World War II.

Lessons could have been learned during the 50’s and 60’s in the US about race relations.

Lessons could have been learned to gracefully accept responsibility while finding a way forward with the people you abused.

Lessons could be learned if the fucking white assholes who think they are superior to all but have the mental capacity of a dull pencil, were not put on charge.

Lessons could be learned if all the money in the world was not held by individuals who hoard it rather than using it for the good it could do.

Lessons all around us.

And yet none of those lessons have been learned.

And to make matters even better, all the lessons are being whitewashed to make the perpetrators of crimes look innocent.

If you were stupid enough to be on the wrong side of humanity and there is proof of your disgusting behavior, in 20 years you cannot cry and say you are afraid others will find out.

You cannot use words to dampen the rage or disgust that friends and family will feel when the truth emerges.

I read an article that men and women, who threw rocks, names, fists, during the desegregation of schools in the south, are horrified now that their grandchildren will find out. And discover that racism and hypocrisy are alive and well in their family line.

If you cannot withstand the anger that follows, the disappointment, when something you have done is found out, here is a PSA:

Don’t fucking do it.

It is easier to be a monster who does not care than to be the person who carries the pains, the screams, the injustice that they see and feel against around them.

It is easier to turn away than to remain watching eyes open.

It is always easier to say not my problem, not my issue, why should I care?

And I say:

The Servant of Evil passes ’round the tray, and humanity drinks of the sparkling venom in those glasses.
