They mutilated they torment each other
With silences with words
As if they had another
life to live
they do so
as if they had forgotten
that their bodies
are inclined to death
that the inside of men
easily break down
ruthless with each other
they are weaker
than plants and animals
they can be killed by a word
by a smile by a look
Tadeusz Rozewicz (1921- )
