Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

— W.H. Auden, Sept. 1, 1939

What is nuanced about shooting an unarmed and innocent person in the face three times?

“That’s Holocaust shit. Come on.” 👑
