You can’t say
there were murders
or torture.

I don’t believe
anyone died
in prison.

Beside, people die all the time.

In prison
or outside.

I don’t remember
what happened.

I never interrogated anyone.

I just helped,
sometimes.

No one made arrests.

Not of 2,000 students.
Or 200.
Or 20.

I’m a patriot.

It was my moral duty.

I sleep well at night.
Do you?
