We’re all to meet it; learn from it; but who<br>will dare to put it on the home, the school, agenda? <br>‘There are those to whom you’re not even<br>a victim or an enemy; you’re just – nothing..’ <br>Pope called it<br>the inhumanity of man to man.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Michael+Shepherd">Michael Shepherd</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=460738" data-title="0276 Savagery de Michael Shepherd" data-description="When did you first meet savagery?
