Do not wear glasses during a revolution
we must enter darkness on our own
looking in your neighbour's eye
there should be no reflection
whether the class-war is real or not
depends on whose dead rioter's body lays there.
********************************************
When a government dissolves
it does not fall
or collapse
it flickers and fades
Egypt's making us look
like somber zombies
the kind that lie and drool
no, no not blood hungry
we had bite to be god-like
but no appetite
to be human
*on a side-side note, beyond the political sphere, if you haven't noticed...there is a lot more of my own poetry going up on the site. A major rush of inspiration has been given to me, to continue to write, to continue to report on the world I see. So a really big thank you is to be given to Rob Wilson. Thank you!
"poetry must learn to be brutal again before it can be human"- Synge
