Humanity
When your tears of blood coagulate
and your wounds heal into scars
of lasting and perpetual ugliness
to mark you as a branded exile
from humanity and normality forever,
still your heart will go on bleeding
never to be stilled or comforted
in permanent invisibility of pain.
The cruelty of others never will be felt by them
but only by the victims,
and all they can do
is to testify and go on testifying
never to let all those words and voices die
that are the true life witnesses
of the sincerity and everlasting truth
of what humanity is really all about.
