-Torture-Is-Un-

Let us agree.
Torture is un-Lincoln;
torture is un-Jesus;
torture is un-Muhammad;
un-Buddha,
not-Ghandhi,
not-Eisenhower,
nor-Einstein,
nor-Lee;
im-moral,
un-ethical,
not-you,
nor-me;
not for 25 December,
nor 11 September,
nor 22 November.
Let us not sit,
nor stand,
nor listen
before torture-silent-torture-tolerant pulpits.
Not you,
not ever,
not me.
