LEXICON DEVIL
Redefine everything:
the Language will protect you
from how slippery truth can be. In the Language,
if the stray bullet hits the man you love,
you may call it terrorism. If it hits the man you hate,
you may call it justice.
In the enemy’s night garden a red knife will be called a grey flower
and the white, misplaced faith of the children you just slew
will be called a mineshaft.
In the staring eyes of those young dead
there are mountains you find you can’t describe.
You see them now, you feel like you must have lived there once,
even if you can’t say it. Fortunately,
the Language you’re trained to speak will keep you
safe, warm, will hold you firmly as you step over the abyss.
