Suppression of Thought by Dave Rendle

A  distant voice,

shared free expression,

now confined ,

by chains of  oppression,

longing like a dove to fly away,

beyond the strains of prison walls,

release thoughts that are still unsaid,

a poetic voice, for whom we now plead.

Each word that is silenced,

is part of us , in pieces,

struggling to be heard,

carrying freedoms breath,

untold wonders of feeling,

Asraf carries a knowledge of life,

that may surpass anything we could attain,

words are often open to interpretation,

this is the gift of communication,

should not be lost, in the silence of time,

let hope share its light,

the wish of deliverance,

from dark captivity,

released from suppression,

verses to be freed, put to paper,

to be granted the ability to breathe again.
