Whenever people perpetrate a horror,
atrocity or murder foul – whatever,
it’s labelled thus: as inhumanity…
…but only humans perpetrate these acts
and so I must point out incisively
that, far from being inhumanity,
these things express our base Humanity.
And if you wish to form an argument
against this logic I have plainly shown,
I cannot see the basis of your thoughts.
For wishing that a thing is true does not
in actual fact precipitate that truth,
but will instead serve only to delude
and could in certain cases get you killed
along with those who choose to share that lie,
based as it is in hatred of one’s race
and by extension also of one’s self.

The species rises slowly from the slime
of prehistoric somnolescence where
the basic instincts of the feral ape
are painfully replaced with social grace
but look at all our morals, laws and codes
and see that they are nothing more nor less
than opposites of instincts we possess:
negation, then, of what we really are;
confliction brought upon us by ourselves…
…no wonder that from time to time we do
these things to one another – for we must
in periodic, self-relieving haste
allow ourselves catharsis and revert
to what we really are under our lies,
our moralising speeches and veneer
of grace, of elevated mental state:
we’re unrepentant, predatory fiends.
