Where Did You Study Cruel Man & Men? Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Where Did You Study Cruel Man & Men?



Why you kill your Mothers & Fathers
Brothers and Sisters
And make merry that you have done a great job
Did you study in a Religious school?
I do not know who gave you that iron heart
Instead of a revolver that should automatically operate
inside yourself before you aim at someone else?
I strongly condemn.................these barbaric killings specially the innocent children!
Tear drops from my eyes
flush to my heart and heart cries?

[Diogenis, a Greek philsopher 412 BC -323 BC, was a beggar who made his home in the streets of Athens, made a virtue of extreme poverty. He was a former pupil of Socrates.
A small 6' tall characteristic figurine of Diogenis, holding a lantern walking with his companion - a dog.
According to a popular story, because Athens was fraught with decadence and material extravagance, Diogenes walked through Athens in broad daylight nude, carrying a lighted lantern and looking for an honest man. As portrayed in this little statue.]
