Firewall Poem by Mohammad Younus

Firewall



Somebody go and tell the Biggies
What's going down in Kashmir
Where writing poems of resistance
Is just like writing a suicide note
Where Tweeters on social sites stay
Restricted and locked up behind the firewalls
Where netizens wishing to speak out their woeful tales
Stealthily use VPN's to bypass the firewalls
Where each day the Grand-lawbreaker books the users -
Big or small - under the draconian laws
For sneaking through the firewalls
Who will fly out now to the social boughs
To tweet the woeful tales of caged birds?
Mykoul, the net-locking makes it clear
A free black crow is far superior
To the caged singing beautiful lark

Mykoul
