each piece of Ampatuan
for each body, each child and each pregnant woman
each newspaperman, each bystander, all 57 of them & more
the body of Ampatuan shall be chopped into pieces
each piece as a partial payment of each dead body accounted...
perhaps justice will be served
perhaps the thirsty earth shall be quenched
perhaps each scream shall be silenced
perhaps....
