"in firing squads,
they equip one soldier
with a blank bullet,
but they don’t let any
of them know, so
if any of the men pick up
remorse for what they did
they can tell themselves that
their gun did not hold fatality. how scary we are
that we can justify
murder to ourselves.
how scary we are
that we can justify
anything to ourselves.
how scary we are
that we are always right."
