30336 - Why do you allow

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias

Why do you allow
the feet
of young
girls
In Japan
to be tied up
in order for them to be
compulsorily
small
for aesthetics
reasons?
What’s the worth
of aesthetics
when
it’s inhumane
and it torments
the children
without mercy
merely
so it could be visible
to the society
of barbarism?
