Never again
We say, “Never again.”
But
when people with power are pointing
in one direction
when many minds are pointing
in that direction
when the guns and bombs are pointing
in that direction
too,
it can happen again.
It does happen again.
It has happened again.
It can be furious and chaotic.
It can be calm and orderly.
It can start with laws.
It can start without them.
The people who do it
can believe
they are saving their country
The people who do it
can believe
they are just getting
their own back.
That’s why
It can happen again.
It does happen again.
It has happened again.
