This is the Body I Love (a year of terror 2022)
This is the body I love
And I can change it
You take food from it
Let it shiver in winter
Make it wait 9 hours in an ambulance
As it withers away
This is the body I love
But you have changed it
It waits in a
bomb shelter
and screams
don’t kill me
It gasps for breath
In a frozen sea
Please don’t
Drown me
This is the body I love
But you have changed it
This is the body I love
And I can save it
Vote you out of power
Take to streets
Pour bombs over Russia
Let the refugees arrive in luxury liners
Served by the rich on bended knees
This is the body I love
And I have regained it
