Being a Human Being
(for Mordechai Vanunu)
not to be complicit
not to accept everyone else is
silent it must be alright
not to keep one's mouth shut to hold onto one's job
not
to accept public language as cover and decoy
not to put friends and family before the rest of the world
not to say I am wrong when you know the government
is wrong
not to be just a bought behaviour pattern
to accept
the moment and fact of choice
I am a human being
and I exist
a human being
and a citizen of the world
responsible to that world
—and responsible for that
world
