Prison

Invisible shackles,
Untouchable burden;
Silent noises,
Unseeable vision.

Am I in a prison?
Or left stranded under a shade?
From fruit of my poison,
Of all efforts that were made.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Listen and remember!

My rights are your rights,
Your failure is my countdown;
Everybody shares the same colors,
Greyish black and white stripes.
