Narrow Roads

When the roads are grand
yet your mind still will not pass
the toll was too expensive
it required a conscience
with some empathy

ignorance and evil
hold hands when they dance
to de humanize
partners in crimes 
oh my! rape
the pinatas are dead

Ignorance and evil.... that's a nasty combination. When these two hold hands and dance and when empathy is missing, it will be a macabre dance. Powerful poem dear Arthur.

Sometimes empathy is missing, and evil prevails

Ignorance and evil tango perfectly well together, Arthur, even though in the process un/wittingly they painfully tread on innocent toes. // paul

Dehumanisation is the great evil that instigates horror. Truth. Hope all is well.
