Are you Guilty or Innocent ?

Who is guilty, who is innocent 

Who can claim innocence 

when the world burns, embers

ignited again and again by friction

between brothers, by words 

that chafe and open up fissures

between nations, between 

the right hand and the left hand

Who is innocent

— the one sees beneath the tatters

—the one who creates a mosaic out of shards
