If Only
If only the dead could talk
They’d tell us who to blame.
They’d point to the abusers
Who play that selfish game.
If only trees could talk
They’d point to the ones who came
To chop and burn and plunder
In a tyranny of shame.
But neither the dead nor the trees
Can change the past
Or create a caring world
That would really last.
That’s down to us.

Some people do not care what havoc and misery they leave in their wake – just as long as they are doing alright.
Some people will start wars, destroy countryside, torture and maim – with delight – as long as they are doing OK.
They are a greedy, sick minority.
We need to deal with them.
