J'accuse...! (Moi-même) ~ Tuesday, 21 April 2020

It's better to be a wise fool 
than a monster without any 
sense of how my actions affect 

billions and billions of people, 
even to harm one person is 
to create a ripple effect, 
to intimidate or coerce 
even one child in games that hurt, 
remember, we came here to help, 

to be of service, of actions, 
only words twisted to torture 

became modus operandi, 
even you acknowledge the games 

as only fun but scars remain, 

wonders never cease as children 
invent new ways to persecute, 
singled out as a child, too small 
even to ask police for help, 

for I was your little plaything, 
only now I am an adult, 
only now I know not to trust, 
left with you by my own parents.
