At that moment in our conversation,

He looked down, took a slow breath

In, and solemnly said in a calm manner:

"I think deep down, everyone is

Capable of unspeakable things."

It was his poised demeanor and the look

In his eyes that were convincing to me.

Those words felt like experiences

Encountered, like he knew exactly

What he was advancing was the reality.

It's a moment that marked me,

One I don't think I'll ever forget.
