Notes	Poem which mentions several human rights violations without naming any specific events - including rape of females, the torture of LGBT people, child-abuse, intellectuals imprisoned in detention camps, war, famine, deprivation, and the pollution of the environment. The speaker of the poem juxtaposes this suffering with his embrace of his lover; beyond the love he is experiencing, the world is descending into chaos.
