consider dostoevsky
*********************************
when we brag
we brag about our uniqueness.
but when it comes to our failings,
we say we are a people
like any other people.
*
we have treated our writers unfairly?
so has the rest of the world.
consider dostoevsky...
*
are we really a people
like any other people?
name a single nation
in the history of mankind
that has been subservient to turks
for 600 years? -- a subservience,
may i add, that ended
in a series of massacres
and genocide?
*
what have we learned
from these experiences
beside being Cain to Abel?
