Generational Holocausts

The term understates, underrates the invisible numbers, after the headlines, the quieted dead dwindle to less than extraordinary. Violence and cultural blight are seen as side effects of affluence, a benign wind of change and not the culling, winnowing and genocide of a Nation sleepwalking into madness. Clubbing seal cubs portends a rage for mass murder. The tail wags the dog and the offended march away to slaughter strangers. Generation after generation, no - year after year, day to day. Meanwhile bloody footprints reshape a landscape of fear.
