ordinary words

Ordinary words

coarse tea and plain rice

day in and day out

eat and shit

ordinary words

strip away the honeyed tongue

another dawn breaks out of the darkness

despair not

a new day has come

in hearts fire sears

on streets putrid flesh melts

exposing the skeletons

another life ripped out

a new day has come

the earth shakes

the people speak

ordinary words
