If they all had the courage To just stand and say no, To be made examples of, To be imprisoned or worse Or the many other threats They would use to coerce, Would those...

The maggots One morning in the village, millions of maggots At the cemetery appeared protesting about hunger. They merged into a big fat pink ball with tiny feet chanted: we want more corpses, the supply side has let us down It had been hitherto a healthy village few people died those who did were elderly with meagre flesh The day after the covid...
