Can you imagine yourself
doing nothing
even if you know
that barbarity comes?
You know what your answer is.
In the same way
that you are ashamed of your body
you are ashamed about your decision
to not participate in the struggle
against barbarity.
But you feel that you are able
to manage it.
In reality, you can’t,
it’s just another compromise
with yourself.
When you close your eyes
barbarity doesn’t disappear.
It’s still here,
in front of you
even if you don’t fight
on the battlefield.
But at the same time,
you want to be protected.
No worries.
