The Means

I killed a man and ate his liver
   to entertain you.

I blinded a rabbit
   to make my shampoo gentle on your eyes.

I tortured a man and degraded him
   to obtain useful information.

I killed a foetus
   so I wouldn't have to raise a child.

I took children away from their mothers
   to give them a better life.

I killed a man
   to punish him for killing a man.

I destroyed a city and its innocent inhabitants
   to end a war.

I nailed a man to a cross
   to protect our way of life.

But now I wonder...

Do the ends justify the means,
or are the means an end unto themselves?
