Yesterday, a judgement was pronounced:
Life sentence
for the Ex-Wehrmacht officer Scheungraber.
He had blown up
ten Italian farmers in 1944.
In retaliation.
For two soldiers who had died
during a partisan attack.
Yesterday, in front of the courthouse,
the Italian offspring
called it justice.
What they meant was retaliation.
The bad guys call it retaliation.
The good guys call it justice.
You will know them by their choice of words.
