Very true indeed. If not compassion at least a respect for life. Oh and lest we forget about the inquisition, it makes the holocaust seem like a fight on the playground.
A very powerful poem indeed, covers a plethora of world tragedies that we should not only heed but work towards ending. You ending is perfect - it is exactly what is called for - Well said. Thank you for sharing this with me.

Oh this is just a feast for the eyes and senses. You speak of many ills of our planet. The bible also says Satan was cast down to earth, and that earth is his realm. Just turn on the idiot box, step outside your front door, read world history-CRITICALLY, turn on your radio...Devils do indeed fester in every segment of our population and Satin is their father, their leader, their god! The cycle MUST be broken or we are all doomed to rot in/on this hell!
What turns me on to this piece is the optics. This is the strength of this poem.
Very well done. =)
Powerful and well structured. A very scary cycle. One that most wake up, are blind to, go to sleep blind to it. Good dose of reality, a sad one, but a needed one. Keep it up, you have much talent.
Peace,
This is really just gorgeous writing and I love the structure you use to show the cycle; the arc of truth that you're writing about. You say a lot but don't over-explain anything. I believe that is what gives this piece so power.
One little thing - do mean "No sacrifice greater than another," or did you mean "that"? Hope you don't mind that once a proof reader always a proof reader. It was my first job out of college.
Anyway a great poem and a great I feel to be introduced to you as a writer. I look forward to reading all of your work.
