letter to the ancestors
take us back to the origins of time
take us back to where it all started from
and tell your story to the man
tell it to the man who killed you
who killed you
in the first and every place
the man who lost his mind
and won´t remember
this is what it has all gone down to
you won´t be able to make a difference
you neither
for you are lost
and you can´t help yourself
from dying in the end
because once he has heard your story
the man can´t help but cry
and swear none like this will
ever happen again
but then it did happen again;
and he will kill you there
in your beds sleeping
in the fields hunting
in the trees running from him
and it went on like this for a thousand
times for every story that was told
and it didn´t make a difference in the end
or change the world
but every story was a difference in its own right
and changed a world,
if at least a bit
but once it was lost,
it would be never heard again
(Taipei, 15.07.07)
