One Way Left

You hid from the neon lights

The embrace of darkness was your only mate

You lie in the cameras’ eyes (now)

The downgrade of humanity between your thighs

“Why is he doing it to me?”

“How can man be so mean?”

You try to protect your mind

Changing your body into an empty doll

But his eyes

Penetrate the intimacy of your world

“Why don’t you let my dreams live on?”

“Why do you want to fray my soul?”

“God damned, when will I give my deliverance?”

Condemned, you hope to die to heal the suffering

One way left, the throbbing vein crossing his dirty neck

Bite, don’t slacken your hold

And then bite again until his blood fulfill your rage

Your rage

You, now, (look) deep into his eyes

And find yourself alive despite his will to kill you

He lies helpless and dead

Inanimate puppet on your blood-stained chest

“God, was he one of your sons?”

“Tell me now what is right and wrong!”
