Torture Is An Abomination To Humankind

by Carol Warner Christen


I renounce and denounce torture against any human and myself.
Can a free and equal human being agree to be tortured by others for their reasons?
Can others deprive a human being of liberty in order to torture that being?

Torture is illegal for parents to practice upon their children; the state sees to that.
Sometimes the state gives the children to worse torturers.
How could torture be legal on adults when done to prisoners, to anyone?

Is torture involuntary servitude?
Is the torturer an elected leader?
Did the legislature raise the torturer to ruling status?
Is the torturer acting a bondage and bloody fantasy of sexuality?

State the law and the legality under the Constitution for torture.
State the treaty permitting torture.
State the rationale for torture.

Follow through and submit yourself to torture if your belief is torture is a public good.
Follow through and denounce torture if you will not be tortured yourself.
Denounce torture for the sake of the Bill of Rights.
Denounce torture as a medieval horror for it is that.
Denounce torture by the religious.
Denounce torture as un-American.
Denounce torture.

If you cannot state the law, the legality, the treaty, or the rationale, forget forever torture.
Join with all our citizens and recant torture.
How did we devolve to such a degree as to permit torture?
