A meditation on cruelty, cowardice, and layered justice
Hostages and Residual Suffering
The land is heavy with ghosts. Hostages taken from the peace festival, tortured, violated, silenced. Families waiting, grieving, receiving remains with unbearable evidence of cruelty. Gaza and Israel both scarred, both haunted. Residual suffering clings to soil, to walls, to memory.
Justice belongs even to the silenced.
Cruelty as Cowardice
Cruelty pretends to empower. Bullying, abuse, sabotage—cowards hiding behind masses, never standing alone. They corrode joy, believing hardship is their privilege. But cruelty is not power. It is cowardice, lazy cowardly bullshit.
Manifesto shard: Cruelty pretends to empower, but it corrodes. Justice restores. Prayer resists. Sanctuary remembers.
Class and Compensation
Poverty forces survival: a meal outweighs legality, addiction grows in the cracks of trauma. To deny victims compensation because of criminal records is cruelty layered on cruelty. The elites hoard money, shielded from consequence, while the poor are branded maggots. Yet dignity is lived, not granted.
Justice beyond class, dignity beyond wealth.
Media Bias and Half Truths
One side shown is not truth. The BBC and others framed war through a narrowed lens, leaving audiences to form opinions on half a tapestry. Distortion is not stupidity—it is omission. Sanctuary resists by remembering both sides, lighting candles for all victims.
Manifesto shard: Half a tapestry is not truth. Opinions formed on omission are distortions.
Sanctuary remembers both sides.
Cowards and False Crowns
Abusers are rarely held to account. They may lack wholesome lives, family bonds, animal kinship, and skills that root dignity. Instead, they hoard money, believing cruelty is privilege. But privilege is hard to spell, harder to feel. It hides behind closed doors and it hides in financially geared laws.
Cruelty corrodes, but sanctuary restores.
The Pecking Tree Lie
Hierarchy is a lie. The life pecking tree tells us worth is position, cruelty is currency. But sanctuary roots beyond branches. Worth is not measured by climbing—it is lived in restoration, humour, and care.
Manifesto shard: The pecking tree is a lie. Cruelty is not hierarchy. Worth is not position. Sanctuary roots beyond the branches.
Lock Against Hell
Bullies must never win. To allow cruelty is to open the gates of hell on our beautiful planet. Sanctuary is the lock against those gates. Every act of care, humour, and remembrance is resistance.
Bullies must never win.
Closing Cadence
Anger is witness. It names cruelty, resists facade, and demands justice. Candles resist. Sanctuary restores. Justice belongs to all victims.
