Quick Question Poem by Mariam de Haan

Seductive smiles singing stories,
Seeing swirling silver screams,

If you see the truth,
Will you become its protector?

Become.
Believe.
Beloved.

If you hear the voices,
Will you shut them off?

Hear hurt hunted,
Holding him hostage,

If you hold the people
Will you curse the rhythm?

Curse.
Concern.
Connected.

If you connect the truth, the voices and the people
The hunted stories and hostage screams.
Become concern.
Curse beloved.
Believe.
Hear seductive smiles singing.
See swirling silver holding him.

Will you shut off the protector
Or hold the rhythm?
