Quatrain of Vught Horror - 1670

Quatrain of Vught Horror

Vught - A German concentration
camp south of Hertogenbosch

Oh, slaughter thy wits with fire
and brimstone for thou
art an inhuman
curse,

Tis of ruptured ideology I pursue
vengeance in order to
instill love in
reverse.

Thy cleansing of beliefs totally
out of date and contrary
to the god in
me,

I am not a spoiler of dreams,
I am the dreamer of
virtue, a purebred
devotee.

Quatrains can slap you right up alongside the head. It should hurt. The human condition is real.
