I’m scared!
Yes, I do not conceal it from you
I say it: I’m scared!
I’m scared
Of all anthems you sing
Elixirs vomited noisily
Brought forward
I’m scared of your flags
cracking in the wind of your madness
I’m scared!
To you I confess my fear
I’m scared of your erected tents
Sparse in the flowered gardens
I’m scared of your adult games
In the pedestrian corridors
I know that one day
You will shoot me!
I’m scared
Yes, I confess my fear
I’m scared of your gloved hands
Hiding numerous cactus
I’m scared when a child
Claims for life in his cold cradle
I’m scared when he shows ecstasy
I know that one day
You will shoot him!
