The Web Poetry Corner - Mohammad Badri - Forbidden Island

Forbidden Island

by

Mohammad Badri

The islanders

convey shocking news

of their suffering

sound of suppressing

gravity of torturing

surrounded the islanders

with secured eyes

they are starving

food is in scarcity

in fact, islanders are

in hunger strikes

they can't talk

with fused lips

forbidden island is

the wealthiest island

of universe

happiness is a crime

compassion is history

people are denied

inhaling fresh air

love is passed away

passion lost hope

writing is a trespassing

pen is; an exterminator

intellectuals are;

subject to succumb

they are massacred

one after another

or preferred their body to deteriorate

in drenching penitentiary

crying is meaning for primacy

ultimate remedy for illness is mortality

ilitrecy is secret for superiority

justice is buried

in mud of innocent blood

prosperity belongs to prison guard

in shadow of religion interpretation

islanders lost their tolerance

so their hopes

whooped to the world

choose to rise

struggle more

although they are

aware of rewards

so the consequences

roads are uneven

freedom is insight

price is so high

timing is just right!
