The Prisoner Population
Where
Flames, the sun of hunger
Where
Eclipses the moon of justice
Where
The winds of ammo spit
Where is a blood rain
Where
The truth is guilty
Where the religion
Becomes dishonoured
Where the public is
Without the right dress
Living, under the force
Of uniform-rules
Since we are in a captive state
As a panting, trembling
Prisoner population
In a cultivated world.
