Metaphor

No longer do we slice, strangle

bludgeon or burn victims

upon our godly altars

live offerings for appeasement or power.

Death for personal gain.

 

Yet behind intimate walls

with calculated cruelty

we sacrifice child, partner, parent

upon slabs of self-interest.

Not much different -

‘Death for personal gain.’
