30335 - Why should we allow

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias

Why should we allow
the torturing
of women
with rings
around the neck
so that they may become
giraffes
while we know
that afterwards
they become atrophic
and if they are removed
then the neck
may easily
break
through the weight
of the head?
Is there
some
barbaric
reason for it
or is it in fact
resulting
from the fact
of our indifference
for the suffering
of others?
