Explicitly

The pixels refuse to leave 
the screen. There was a 
         defiance, unheard so far.   

Will not misspeak about 
the rape ! Was it not a murder
         of the white goddess in light ?    

Are you going to shut a 
pink flame, smouldering 
         in the vicious grip of greed ?

The skinny-dip in boiling
cauldron of hate ? What
         was left now of humor ?

Walking on the lake water 
retrieving your youth ? Was 
         it worth your grand wasted life ?
