"Not even in the movies
do you have such perfect crimes."
Down in the maquiladoras
where drugs and government overlap,
and the lives of 300 women
are exchanged for death.
One by one
from whole
to burnt fragments.
Their brutal slaying
ignored by the media.
Alive only in tears and pink crosses.
"To remain silent is to acquiesce."
