In A Far Flung Place Democracy Has Died (Turkey 2016)

entry picture

Journalists cower under the covers

Fearing the thud thud at the door

Lesbians and gay men can’t hold each other

As its sodomy by their laws

 

In a far flog place

Western music is a gas

Free thought toxic

And they want no beer in your glass

 

Books are being stripped from the shelves

Writers are stamped upon

Western dress frowned upon

Your daughter must learn the Koran upon

Fearing death from a thousand stares

 

In a far flung place

Teetering on the edge of despair…

A young solider laid his life on the line

So you may once again

Breath fresh free air
