About This Poem
Wrongful Imprisonment: Fabricant Sonmi 4 5 1
"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future." - David Mitchell's character Sonmi 451
A slave was Somni 4 5 1 to corporate society.
She worked long hours and had no fun.
Denied to see the light of sun
and engineered genetically,
a slave was Somni 4 5 1 to corporate society.
Of joy to come, she once had dreamed,
but truth would set fair Somni free.
Her fate was not what she had deemed;
of joy to come, she once had dreamed
until the light of knowledge gleamed
on her! A martyr she would be.
Of joy to come, she once had dreamed
but truth would set fair Somni free.
(oops, I thought I could do 16 lines, not under 14, so
the first poem is not truly a triolet, but a shortened version of one.)
Inspired by the 5th story inside the movie Cloud Atlas: An Orison of Sonmi~451
For the contest of Black Eyed Susan: Wrongful Imprisonment or Sentenced
