The agonizes of my nationA
Are shadows not heartshakening issuesB
So I will not talk about themC
-
I will sing only of the gloriesD
I will talk about the other thingsE
-
I will sing about the citizens'F
ribs painted out by foodlessnessF
Citizens' eyes zipped for phobia ofG
witnessing wind scattered shellsF
penetrating human fleshH
-
I will talk only aboutI
the missing lives exiled pensF
Lone red tops feasted on by maggotsF
Some trapped behind barsF
And the other mewed like dogsF
-
So I will not talk about themC
How can we we lament these thingsF
without rivers streaming down our cheeksF
Anger piled and buried in our heartsF
Nowonder we are tongue tiedJ
-
These are tipsy sightsF
That flog my eyes when I sipK
