Hands
The gift of hands was given
to carry out the work
of the great unseen Source
With this gift we carry out
the most evil atrocities
while claiming to be
agents of that source
defenders of that source
upholders of the law of that source
which we ourselves define
For the pain we have caused
we should be taken to the square
in front of all the world
dragged, by the hair, if necessary
to the executioner’s block
and have our hands cut off
