The Paradox February 16, 2007

trackback

Hungry dogs keep barking
Moon sneaking away behind the horizon
In this city
A few corpses bury human beings alive
A few chairs catch the neck of people
Sit over them haughtily
I don’t know why
budding flowers are being crushed
My soul is furious, enraged
And cries my fuming speech

In response
Angered by not able to crush me
the hungry dogs
catch me with their big forceps
push me in a dog-vehicle
and leave me in a dreaded forest.
