'Bare rotløs ungdom' :
In the psychotherapeutic worldview
to which all good liberals subscribe, there is no evil,
only victimhood.
The robber and the robbed, the murderer and the murdered,
are alike the victims of circumstance,
united by the events that overtook them.
Future generations (I hope) will find it curious how,
in the century of Stalin and Hitler,
we have been so eager to deny man's capacity for evil.
