D10d Poem by RIC BASTASA

the word is
detained.

the technical term
is custodial investigation,

the government forces
are too many
to hold a single person
and claim that it is
destroying the system.

the next word is
injustice,

the government has more words
to suppress the other words:

denials are clones
and there are just too many of them
all clones since the original is dead.

the only original word is
honesty and Billy Joel says

it is the most lonely word
and include the generals and the
president

everyone is so
untrue

and back to the first word

detained..
