Killing At Camp - Justice?
"Every man's fate we have
fastened on his own neck:"

(Surah 17:13)



Qur'an he clasps with crooked hand,
A running sun in no man's land,
Ringed with a faceless foe he stands.

The wrinkled chants beneath him crawl,
He watches from his wooden wall,
The history book - it breaks his fall.





Colin Baker June 2008

Re: Killing At Camp - Justice?
Hmmm - not so much justice as revenge perhaps?

That is certainly a valid interpretation, yes...'Scapegoat' may be another valid, explanatory concept.
