Human Injustice Poem by viacheslav kupriyanov

Human Injustice

Two hands
to feed
many mouths

and many hands
to gag
a single mouth

A single rib
to make
a woman

and twenty-four ribs
to cage
a heart

Thirty-two teeth
waiting to bite off
a tongue

struggling to find
a universal tongue
for a humankind

armed
to the teeth

Translated from Russian by Francis R. Jones
