א Where have you gone ? You , Youth , with your pockets filled for the first time , your eyes viewing a future alight with possibilities , love , life , beauty You , Man , with your arms embracing your bride , the entire village carried into your welcoming home . You , Father , gently cupping her growing belly Where did you find this madness ? You , Anger , with fire in your heart You , Hate , with destruction in your eyes You , Brother , where are you ? You , Brother , how could you ?

א I have been taught what you have been taught- That my enemy is Wrong I have learned what you have learned - That my enemy is Evil I have seen what you have seen- That my enemy is Other And that You are my enemy Are you Other , friend ? Are you Evil ? Are you wrong , brother ? I did not see you this way until you came into my home and did what is other , wrong and Evil- Where is my brother ?

א Who will you become ? How will you be the person you were ? After you have cut this baby ’ s head from his body , how will you look into your daughter ’ s eyes ? After you have burned this family until their screams stopped , how will you hear your brother ’ s pain ? After you have stolen this grandmother-her papery skin shrinking away from your rough hands , how will you hold your mother without feeling them both ?
