I read this poem four times, and I liked it more each time. It is original, with beautiful associations and compassions for the victims. I think the second stanza encapsulates the central problem: only a stifled or unfulfilled individual would want to partake in slaughter, and the top dogs exploit this lack of fulfillment for the sake of their agenda. The last three lines are memorable. Satish, you're among the best poets on this site. Recommended. -Yacov Mitchenko
