Inhuman cries

On the theatre, I saw two big signs
One said Entrance, one Brexit did show.
Can we never leave  if we go in?
We have chosen, what we cannot know

Is it a bleak satire or device
To gain attention from  the passersby?
Brexit is no Play,  in law it’s real
.Am I  now a foreigner or a spy?

The biscuit box said Torture Freedom From
Do Peek Frean want to saintliness aspire?
It was my  inner  mind that made ” Torture”
Whether waterboarding or pure fire

Etched into my mind the shock, the lies
People locked up, chained, inhuman crimes.

  1. Hello Katherine. You make me open the door and reflect on the million lies I tell myself–to please myself, punish myself, exhalt myself. It is not a happy experience any more than your poem’s experience, but it’s a fine poem. Thank you. I hope you are well today. Best wishes.
