Children Of The Damned Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The ethics of duplicity,
the killing on trial

One law for the criminal,
one law for the child

The electric chair savage,
womb murder refined

Academia, the father and mother
of crime

To lie when convenient,
truth's babies to cry

An Einstein, a Lister, a Shakespeare,
denied

Through dark inhumanity,
their spirits to roam

Living deep in our consciousness
—our souls theirs to own
