Must we wait
until something explodes?
We’re still the living bodies
in the same room of silence
Avoid the gaps and the holes
Don’t step on egg shells
Fine, I’ll just tiptoe or carefull crawl
before declaring all is well
Are you joking?
Can’t you hear it?
Listen.
That time bomb is ticking.
You still go about your days
expecting it to fade away
There are words I’d like to say
yet they’re forever stuck in my head
trapped!
Now you begin to see
recognising the bomb as it is
Don’t you long to be free?
Don’t let it destroy you to pieces
You?
No, also me and all of us
For once,
be honest to yourself
about what’s always been true
We have issues
The mishandling has been long, overdue
