NEVER

NEVER

never felt
the sting of salt
on my skin
after lashes

never felt
the pain
of white phosphorus
burning through
to the bone

history has shown
that no outrage
is impossible

when humans
define themseves
as divinely chosen,
genetically superior

so advanced, ahead,
of the pack

that from
their elevated, pure
perspective
there is no such thing
as outrage at all
