Splinters -- 16

Speak against me
About me
To me
But forget not
To speak
With me
---

Life is all about having
A dreamless slumber
So that you get to feel
You die every night
And come alive every morning
Life is an endless return
---


You strike a rhino
With a slingshot,
And document it;
You scare a fly
With a missile,
And document it;
These, monsieur, are
The scarcely documented
Pitfalls of performativity.

---

Histories have it all:
A nation limps for ages
Whose young population
Is emotionally enslaved
Or physically massacred!
---
 
If you are fortunate
To collaborate with at least one person,
Who can dissect lies and doctor truths,
You shall survive in academia!
