He sits in jail wondering how he and his country
came to this.
For a mere tweet criticizing his heavy-handed government,
the police knocked on his door and carted him to jail.
He never thought his beloved country would become
a totalitarian nightmare state.
He never thought living in a proposed new world order
would get him ordered to jail.
Yet there he sits silenced in a soul-stifling cell
as if he were a dangerous criminal.
He vows when he gets out to begin a fight
against the injustices of the oppressors.
And he takes solace in knowing
a revolution is brewing.
