Stealing from the Sick and the Old and Weak

How bad do you have to be before no one jumps up to support you? They had a hard life under the bombs of the Russians; they saw many children killed and that made them want to kill more. How innocent does your victim have to be before your desperation is made completely clear? I can't focus; I never lived through any bad times. There were no machine gunners in my childhood, not real ones. My dad remembers stalking through the rubble of a bombed house while the woman who had lived there cried on the step. I want to make you cry but if you are not crying already then maybe you have no emotion. Maybe you don't care. Not enough of us do until it is ourselves we care about.
