I lost my sightBecause I had no rights
I lost my soul
In a pitiful hole
I lost my heart
Because I played no part
I lost my mind
In all the unkind
If I could breathe
I would not grieve
If I could sing
It would be Spring
If I could shout
I would have no doubt
And if I was free
I could be me.

ReplyDeleteVery impressive and very to the point. It is sad that this kind of poem even needs to be written because governments are so uninterested in doing anything real to stop it.
