The Contented Cow That You Shall Hate...

you shall hate me
because i pretend that i do not know
and i have decided not
to speak anymore
about
what happened on those
disappearing years
on those disappearances
of whom we put love
so much

for instance about our love
for an ideology
how many years have we studied
the book and put
each page into practice?

did you count the catastrophe
the numbers which have
remained numbers
because we have become so
numb like
a piece of rotten wood

a paddle
not for the boat but for the
infliction of pain?

i hate the details now
and i shall not enumerate the names
of those
that parted without saying
the right word for it

when we meet
we do not know each other
that is the agreement
we forged
upon a rock
we wrote upon the sea
we spread upon those
dusty mountains
without trails
for those who still want to follow

i am stopping now
and that is what i think justice is all about

i am an individual now
i carry a name
i wear a uniform and
fill up a daily time record
i am a tool
as i have told you
and i am not a candidate anymore
for any
disappearances

call me a contented cow
i am numb and i do not care anymore
