232 seconds ago / sade invisibly
moving
sound through space / soul / 4 walls
while sifting through piles
of noisy papers
articles of happy times
and not so happy times

and wonder what's the point
when a grandfather sodomises
a three-year old boy
and a girl is cut so she can never
have pleasure
a 13 year-old child jailed
for avenging her rape
or a wommon hacked to death
by the same hands that once loved
her
and brushed her hair

now ask if we can
rate violence / lack of respect /
and power trips
on scales
and if the "in thing" in milan will
matter tomorrow
if you have
no rights as another hummon
or a tiny dust particle
in this great sparkling world

where the only thing
that counts is money
and justice / satisfaction / and dreams
are put on death row
as the legal system
shakes hands with filth

and we are in tears
left wide eyed wondering
what is the point of it all?
