I WANT TO WRITE A POEM

I want to write a poem.

With a pencil and a pen

A poem of my motherland

My land not England

To directors of state enterprise,

It will come as a surprise

To directors of the uniformed forces

Those who have no choices

To directors of intelligence

Who intimidate by presence

To directors of dictatorship

I want to write a poem

Plain and solemn

A poem of distress

With a point to stress

Which none can suppress

I want to write that poem soon

Before the next new moon

Only if guaranteed freedom

Freedom not free doom

Not only of expression,

But also after expression
