(poetry by Genki)
I expend
My lonely energies
Building barriers
Against Others
Wrong race
Bad nation
Ugly
Can't be trusted
What threat
Built my prison?
Unforgiving jailer
In every mirror
But sometime
solitude breaks
I'm outside, in
unpredictability
Fresh air
A few breaths
Smile
Banter with others
No whistle of "time's up"
I trudge back
To my cell
and lock my own door
I may wake one day
In a better world
I hope. I pray.
Simple things may set me free.
