Wrong Unity
A Leader speaking on the record said
one man’s starvation death
is a tragedy, that of a million
mere statistic.
Mob members (not its leaders)
own this nature as statistical
undifferentiated particles
of hate (or when confronted, fear)
which propels them.
So let those who join
a mob run, physical or virtual,
devoured by famished hate or fear
expect no sympathy, no more
than any other counting number
when it kills them.
Accepting Stalin’s ideology
they burn as torches
lighting his philosophy.
