"The Violent Bear IT Away"


Statistics on the Bathroom Wall
 
On Average, at least one in three women
is beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise
abused by an intimate partners in the
course of her lifetime.
 
Violence against Women, against the
weaker sex against landscape and
nature, against  children: national
and international violence against
violence.  So much. So ongoing.

As Nancy Kerrigan exclaimed,
shin shattered by the hit
man of her rival:

Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

What is IT that
sustains violence
sustain-ably ?
 
Addiction? Un-rehab habititat that
feeds itself? Sustains? Perpetual
motion machine?  .

And who's to blame
specifically & in general:
reasons-why? Because &
affect? Can we get to the
bottom of this?  Unpack
once and  for all? Holocaust
against violence. Raise
Awareness. Domestic &
Foreign makes no never
mind: violence begins
in the home. Local food. .
.
