Poem, When the Living Rot on the Bodies of the Dead

Description

  1. Overview
    1. When the living rot on the bodies of the dead
    2. When the combatants’ teeth become knives
    3. When words lose their meaning and become arsenic
    4. When the aggressors’ nails become claws
    5. When old friends hurry to join the carnage
    6. When the victors’ eyes become live shells
    7. When clergymen pick up the hammer and crucify
    8. When officials open the door to the enemy
    9. When the mountain peoples’ feet weigh like elephants
    10. When roses grow only in cemeteries
    11. When they eat the palestinian’s liver before he’s even dead
    12. When the sun itself has no other purpose than being a shroud
    13. The human tide moves on...
