NET-ETH: GOING OUT OF THE DARKNESS

~




this is my conspiracy
the breaking of our silences
the speaking of their names
the naming of our secrets
the calling forth of change

this is my conspiracy
the memories no longer hidden
the upheaval of what was swallowed
the movement created in our stomachs
the impossibility of returning in our wake

this is my conspiracy
the bringing to a halt the violence
the re-arrangement of our inheritance
the creation of new songs in original tone

the breaking of our silences
the speaking out loud of our names
