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.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
