Of course it must be condemned
An act of brutality
Which is a mystery
To most of us
But perhaps this is the issue
This lack of understanding
Cultures a puzzle to one another
Become threatening
So we threaten in return
And as the threats escalate
There is no turning back
Pride is at stake
With a tragic consequence
The world collapses for us all
If we cannot learn to talk
And attempt to comprehend
Each other
