The heart of darkness

Indifference tolls the knell of  humankind

So easy just to turn our eyes  away

We often self deceive   or  mimic  blind;

So Hitler goosestepped  while  foolish Pope  but prayed

How bright the candlelight on Christmas trees

And  tender children  widen  joyous eyes

Yet for  the other,we will hear no pleas.

At every heartbeat  “foreign” babies die..

Can we love any but those with our same ?

what sense the story in which  Arab aiding Jew?

Is the underlying truth not seen

As Jesus said the chosen are but few

We  split the world into a double view

The good, the bad,the  heart of darkness slew.
