Sanja Cokolic Poet Free verse

The Line

borders are shaping lives,
impersonating

color of your body
cleanliness of your soul
transparency of your mind
need to fit the frame

borders are ingesting destinies,
devouring

caught in that osmosis draft
they are playing russian roulette
with your need for bed and meal
in which only prize for you is
dream of home, and reality of refugees

borders are changing people,
exchanging

conquer the land
crossing over dead child's body
became universal rule
seems like black and white aren't so different as they preach

they are both monochromatic
