Flies in the shit

To the gentlemen -to the tourist- to the revolutionary
I would like to make them just one question:
Have you ever seen a fleet of flies
hover around a piece of shit
land and work in the shit?
Have you ever seen flies in the shit?

because I was born and raised with the flies
in a house surrounded by shit.

Nicanor Parra, Emergency Poems, 1972

It is easy condemn enlightenment when you have not lived with the flies.
