Why is it that the only talent,
we are all born with
is the innate ability
to cause pain.
It can lie hidden for years,
or allow itself to be coaxed out
by circumstances.
We are all convinced
of our humanity, our goodness,
we tell ourselves that our gods
are on our side.
But didn’t all conquerors and kings
think the same?
It’s scary how much damage humans can do.
