Analysis of Inhumanity
Man's inhumanity to man,
knows no country, religion, or race
Man’s inhumanity to man,
the one shame that all time can’t erase
Man’s inhumanity to man,
as constant as the spring driven rain
Man’s inhumanity to man,
—rising over and over again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
