Allah, Jehovah, Buddah, Christ
Confucius and Kali and reds, beans and rice
Goujons of sole, ris de veau, ham hocks
Lox bagels and bones and commandments in stone
The Bible, Koran, Shinto, Islam
Prosciutto, risotto, falafel and ham
Is it dogma, doughnuts, ridicule faith
Fear of the dark, or shame or disgrace
That we would choose to kill the child
That we would choose to kill the child
It reminds me of the Omelas thought experiment in professional ethics... you know, the perfect society that can only exist if a child is kept locked up and beaten in a basement. The test was to see who, upon learning of the way things were, would walk away, who would stay, and who would actually act to change things.
