    'A Storm Rages'

    A storm rages

    in the layers of my mind.

    A devastated island

    in my thoughts

    massively collapses

    in the middle

    of the stormy ocean.

    An unquiet calm reigns

    the graveyard of my incarceration.

    The enforced silence

    in me cries out madly.

    The daily newspapers

    carry holes in the place of news.

    The diabolic rumours

    and hearsay pass for justice.

    The prison roses

    bleed sad red blood

    outside the closed gates

    of my solitary cell.

    The lynch mobs

    roam around with

    blood-smeared swords

    of hatred

    in their deadly uniforms.

    The pestilent silence

    spreads like a wild plague

    around me.

    A storm rages

    in the layers of my mind.
