i plead guilty
to global warming
to hunger in korea
to aids in africa
to gulag and auschwitz
i plead guilty
to not saving whales
to pissing in a river
to not flossing my teeth
to drinking and sodomy
to wearing fur and sleeping naked
i plead guilty
to not showing my love to my parents
to not showing my anger to the ones i'm afraid of
i plead guilty
to the fact that walloons hate flemish and flemish hate dutch
i plead guilty to disrespect
to the misery of doubt
to mental and physical masturbation
to lack of concentration
i plead guilty to reading from a paper
i plead guilty though i feel no guilt
i plead guilty
so all the good judges around us
can judge and punish me
and later feel guilty as well
i plead guilty and carry out the sentence
i'm sentenced to live
and read long poems
without feeling guilty
