Silent Letters

Heads roll under the metallic strike

Hung by the tyrant's spike.

Pen, ink and well stained in carmine,

When this was ours and my verse was mine.

The muses are the slave of a few.

Chained in a corner with a blind view.

Justice is hidden behind a thick wall

And letters commit suicide them all.

What does a rebel deserves

When your mouth is shut and stuck in reserves.

Imagination is free and pays no court

To some false queen of distort.

Letters of freedom are meant to be banned

In a world where the heroes are sent to remand.

A nobody differs but that's not my right.

And hopeless these verses are the last I write.
