Like every street had a church
with its own theology, the village
counting twelve tribes
of the chosen ones, proclaiming
unity in their blessed name

this is how we join
when it matters
not to be excluded
and divided, bearing the brunt
of other people's interests

and having to suffer
what goes wrong
in the districts, the stadiums
and at the town halls
ministries and universities

Tribes are forming everywhere
With their own truths and martyrs
for the lied unity
of the common good
for which there is no tribe
