Today I grieve freedom

I grieve my land and its beauty

I grieve for all those who could, who want, who try

To live in harmony

I grieve not even for me

But for everyone else

Everyone who thoughts to find

A new life, a new dawn, in my land

I grieve for those under the bombs

And under the umbrella

Of fascism

That rots their heart

I grieve for those who don’t give up

But who have nothing more to give

For those who tried and tried and failed

I grieve for those who grieve

I grieve for those who really thought

That their freedom was at risk

When those in power took away

Freedom from other beings

I grieve for those who can’t come out

Who are still forced in the closet

For those who can’t abort

Any kind of work in progress

I grieve for you, for me, for them

For everyone and their uncle

Because our world is turning to

A giant beast with tentacles

And is threatening

To swallow us all

Alive and dead

Free and in cages

Together

At the end
