Fight for a voice
Fight for a choice
Fight for your right
Fight to fight
Stay up all night
Scream until your face turns blue
Talk talk talk talk
So much to be angry about
So much to fear
It’s getting harder
To know where to drop the bombs
It’s getting harder to scream
Without disturbing
Someone you love
It’s getting harder to love
Without pissing someone off
It’s getting harder to love
Getting pissed off
Piss love
It’s getting better all the time
Take a bite of the apple
Have your piece of the pie
Forget your keys
Lock yourself into the love
Machine
Let’s spread it around
Like a Nutella highway
Let’s smear the love
And the luck it off each other
Dance in the disco grass
Go back and revise
The cave paintings
With more color
More fire
More warmth
I understand the words by looking
At your face
(This poem was originally recited on November 23, at A House in Herdecke, Germany)
