singing the difference
between
the dead’s quiescence
and the technique of murder.
No clemency exists
for those who die prematurely
rather than rise and walk
beside the caravans of vision.
No clemency exists
for those who have not risked
the ladders of shuddering hopes.
No clemency exists
for those who kill others
with indifference
and apathy.
There’s a choir of traumatised souls.
