The duty, the moral and political obligation to tell. Even if you never got on those boats, even if a blade never risked branding you, even if you’ve never felt 14 men burden you between your thighs. If it’s not you who burns your palms under trains, who spends days and nights in the belly of a truck, who prefers prison because it’s safer than a city on fire. TO lose their lives a few miles from a Calabrian coast where your child should have been playing in the sand and not arriving with lungs full of fuel, stranded like a wreck.
