There is an ethnicity in it, a creed as visible as the graphic trauma it breeds upon – this is the culture of violence. In 8000 years we’ve
diverged scarcely an inch from it, rather we’ve refined the ways we insanely kill each other with diverse and creative skill. In the nurseries
of our schools and playgrounds we rehearse battle drills which pave the pathways to our Nations’ illustrious graveyards. And you stand in the
crush of your fellow man, hemmed in by structures tall enough to be modern towers of Babel talking the same brutal kill-or-be-killed
braille. You will claim to be free of prejudice; bear no ill-will to any man of any nation, race or religion. This is the specious veneer, the
stamp of civilization – a barefaced denial of 8000 years standing still. © 1 June 2007, I.D. Carswell
