if reparations
could only serve as a reminder
that when you so damage people
as to take them from their natural life’s course to another
which is a nightmare existence
even to you and i
watching safely
into our past history
if it will serve as a reminder
to stop the madness
of this course of action
if it will do one thing
save humanity
from a future
of more of this madness,
this tragically murderous
fast+paced,
fanatical path
to nothing but self+destruction
it will be worth
every cent
