Even I Have Morals
Linda M. Crate

Some may question
my humanity,
but I question them;
how often do they think of
their impact on the world?

Do you care for the plants that
sustain us and this world?

Some may think me cruel,
but if you ask Harley she'll tell
you that even for a villain I
have morals;

if you want someone to hate
then hate The Joker and his mindless
violence and endless games and gags—

just like the humans that degrade this
planet with their lack of empathy
of life outside of themselves,
he's disgusting to me;

let the carrion break open his bones
and devour what is left because i promise
you there's no soul.
