for not constantly escalating in their name
and that sense that

of knowing that those who have the power and hold the keys in their very hands
that could end the slaughter and the siege in an instant
hold matters of power and self-protection more highly
than the good work they could be doing for all humanity
My feelings of guilt and shame will always ebb and flow and never quite leave me
but when I compare myself do those who could put and end to all of this today if they simply chose to get their a*ses in gear
my conscience is clear
