A MONUMENTAL LOVE  

I want to slip you the tongue at the
Peace memorial in Hiroshima
Crush you against the walls
On Robben Island's
Lick your earlobe in Dachau

Grab your bare ass
Where Golgotha once stood
and ravish you ragged in Rwanda

For I believe our love is more
Powerful than the hate that existed
In such places

That our love could heal hate
And teach the lessons
These silent monuments could not
