This human season

'Well, to me you see it's part of the whole system, the fags.Imperialism, capitalism, exploitation. Small comforts in exchange for the big things like jusice. Fags, coca-cola, a bag of nuts, a nice car. That's what they throw you, instead of giving you your rights. It's what they call a pay off.'

Was killing educational?Perhaps briefly;as a genration is brief. The young sowed horror in their springtime with high hopes for the crop and it rotted down through a long summer. They harvested grief in the autumn of their lives. And did they believe, even as they held their grand children, that there would be an end to it all? After a hard winter killed what was left of them off, it came again, this human season, this springtime of hatred. The young went to it because it was in their nature.
