In the beginning we will all wear black hoods
Poem: ‘The Genesis of Torture’
On the issue of torture, what goes around comes around.
In the beginning
we will all wear black hoods
Our faces will be hidden from history
Someone will tie a cruel footnote to our genitals
It might be our neighbor
disguised as God
