Short Repressive Poems

Pallor of a country worn
The woodshed all forsaken
With God our freedoms were assured
By governments we're taken



"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

Freud’s mirror

I am looking at myself in Freud’s mirror
The reflection is not of a white haired bearded sage
But of a falling face of middle age
My face in his mirror
When he saw himself there – did he see the id?
Or was it the repressive super-ego?
A stained old mirror-
Did he shave there?
Or did he just mark time?
Who needs a clock or a calendar to denote its passing-
When all you need do is go to the Bergstrasse
And see yourself in Freud’s mirror?...

I am the messenger for my own thoughts.
I am the narrative scribe inside my mind.
I am the ever listening (just there).
I am the thinker,
I am a deep feeler, I abstractly care.
I am repressive of my emotions,
I am holding passion for my devotions.
I am the one who sits upfront,
I am the one who secludes herself.
I am the student who likes learning.
I am the "nerd", the loner.
I am willing to perform duty and desires.
I am my own way of maturity and responsibility....

Crippled conscience....
 ....conflicted karma
Gazing into shards of a mirror
shattered...scattered at my feet
 Likeness reflected
distorted and tortured

I choke a sob
  as it struggled to escape
strangled it's existence
  cradled pain in repressive embrace
Guilt crashes like waves
  retreating into internal undertow
     ...preying on souls inability to swim

Repent, retreat 
 shackled ankles~bloody feet
Head hangs low, sullen 
  Absorbed this condemned atmosphere...
