Please, Don'T

please don’t touch me, my body hurts everywhere from flying bomb shells please don’t shoot her, she lost her child from a cross fire stray bullet please don’t beat him, he lost his son under ruthless torture please don’t violate my sister, she has been disgraced like an ancient Sabine woman look at that infant snuggling into her mother’s breast to suckle milk though she was already dead from starvation look at that little boy searching for his father under the collapsed building debris look at that pack of stray dogs fighting viciously among themselves for a piece of rotten flesh from a corpse instead, please paralyze that peace-breakers ugly mindset instead, please dethrone that evildoer wielding absolute power instead, please wipe intruders out from the surface of the earth
