I
was born December 31, 1946.
The
air was still thick with the substance
of
the souls incinerated at Nagasaki... Auschwitz.
I
STOPPED
BREATHING.
Cold
and blue...
A nurse found me.
I'm
told she panicked... Grabbed
me.
Then
she ran for help... She saved
me.
The
panic and jostling aroused me
to
return to this mad world around me
(I
heard she was fired for the impropriety).
SO
I'M STILL HERE...
Still
struggling... and now old.
Yet
I still can't fit your desperate earthly mold.
So
if you feel the need to judge me...
TRY...
NOT... BREATHING.
You
don't have to understand me.
Now
take a deep breath... GET A LIFE.
Until
death comes to claim me...
there
is nothing you can do to change me.
Then
you can go back to your
Auschwitz,
Hiroshima, Nagasaki,
deceptions,
and various shades of inhumanity.
FOR
THAT IS YOUR WORLD.
It
is no part of me. |
