Victimology

Feast of Sacrifice

Since time of old people have inflicted violence on one another. The study of the crime victim attempts to clarify discernment of events perpetrated and the perpetrator through the traces left behind on a victim by an act of violence.

We honor the victimologists.

Feast of Sacrifice

A harpoon sprouts from the evil hand of the pursuer

it catapults through the urban jungle

and deep into dark forests

even into the living rooms of relatives

Harpoon fastened itself

onto a doll hanging from the children’s window

onto a man who wouldn’t pay up

onto an old woman rolling in dough

onto a policeman who knows the score

Harpoon fastened itself deep in the flesh

in the bedraggled pelt

of a drug-intellect

and in the lovely image on the skin of a madam

those poor girls those poor boys

they didn’t get lost

now they’re dead

On the neon signs in the red light district

you see „Save the Whales“

the girls donate their bodies for it

it makes them proud

A harpoon grows out of the sharp eyes of the pursuer

The officials are hot on the trail

the harpoons of the task force

race into a bedroom

Surprise!

the supect has already been detained by death

the harpoons retreat to the conference rooms

where colorful posters hang with pictures

of the defiled water giants

Save the Whales

The young victims are given to the Minotaur

Minotaur swears they wanted it that way

the officials put Minotaur to the harpoon

Harpoon is catapulted into the sea

and electronic signals sent to Minotaur

into the ocean from all the victims

then the sacrificial victims have a feast
