THE HANDSTAND

JULY 2003

 

With wide opened eyes
to look at
the life grasp from the bodies

With wide opened eyes
this time
to look at the TV growing fat
to look at it as the horse

With wide opened eyes
the whores that we are
in front of who discovers
our mean shame
of who loves and can't hate
not so much to kill
when looking at murderers killing

With wide opened eyes
in the shame of being here
beside that orphans
whose fathers and mothers
fell from the towers
victims that just now
are allowed to see
other murdered kids
to die like flys
in reason of our own mourning

With wide opened eyes
this time
wide opened eyes
from now
enormous eyes
that
in the centuries of the centuries
should never close.
Amen.
