Truth

Bound hands and feet,

Gagged,

Encaged.

To be extradited

To the paradise of pretend freedom.

They blaze the land again.

The children of Abraham

Blaze the land again.

The land they call

Their father's land

They blaze again.

Instead of suicide,

Let me sip caffeine

And write poems

To insult Satan,

Tongue lash evil society

And go to sleep,

And wake up

To repeat the chore.

The lion lie lanquid,

The limbs wobbly.

Its heart weak,

Its roar recede to yawn.

Hawks hover,

D day draws near.

Storm the stadium,

Stare over your shoulders,

Stand on the dais.

Stammer oath office,

Stare over your shoulders,

Descend the dais.

Storm out of stadium

Into the sanctum of silence.

My citizenship,

My virginity,

Both broken

Before adulthood.

The lion leashed,

Its roar

They muffled.

The lamb unleashed,

Its muffled bleat

They celebrate.
