Free Will

Free Will

written by: Eliza Segiet

translated by: Artur Komoter

 

You allow suffering
because one has to be strong?

Not everyone can withstand this pain.

Nobody adds strength.

You gave eyes that see this world.
You gave hearing
that slowly
stops responding to shots.

You gave legs,
not everyone has them anymore.

You created a man
who has free will.

Did you give it to everyone?

Is it possible
that some have only evil in themselves?

What are people allowed to do?

Eat?

The problem is that
we will not die from overeating.

Hunger is the everyday reality
of most people
who are stuck
among the creators of death.
