after Una Marson
The test of true civilization
Is the ability
To see a man bleeding
As a man
Bleeding
And not as an animal
Or—even worse—
An animal
Snarling.

THE LAST TEST
after Una Marson
The test of true civilization
Is the ability
To see a man bleeding
As a man
Bleeding
And not as an animal
Or—even worse—
An animal
Snarling.
