Targeted Operation
They came—- they searched my home
And they found a love letter
From one of my very old books
And torn to shreds, rose flower!
That got crushed under a long boot
A list of household things
from my old diary
of the last days of the month
that couldn’t be bought;
this list was ironically laughed at
and torn into pieces;
my genuine brilliant dated prose
was taken into custody!
I’m imprisoned now
For the crime of not having
Any ammo for self defense
My children are witnesses against me
And so are my neighbors

That’s hurting the soul of freedom… I guess isn’t only a poem… hidden behind the words there is a raw reality in many countries of our Planet.
