One evening a blind
A deaf and a mute
Were sitting together for some time
On a bench in a garden.
They were lively, smart and smiling.
The blind saw the world
With the eyes of the deaf.
The deaf heard
With the ears of the mute
And the mute understood from the movements
Of the lips and faces of both.
And all three
Simultaneously inhaled the scent of the flowers
I said, hey, stop this is not right!
I became an activist
I said, hey, listen to me!
I became a nationalist
I said, hey, let’s find a solution!
I became a seperatist
I said, hey, listen, I am starving!
I became a communist
I said, hey, stop that!
I became a terrorist
So I said, what the hell and blew
myself up, and became a hero.
