Behind closed hearts,
doors dividing, guarding
cries of the faceless.
The hours relentless
while the predators,
under a dim of light,
follow as moths
blind to the shame.
These ghosts fading
into the shadows,
puppets brandishing
power over life and breath.
Such crimes concealed,
callous - shocks from
cattle prods, forced-feeding,
and innocence lies bleeding.
No sanctuary here, not
a moment's reprieve,
only the sound of unquiet
storming every space
and corridor.
(To expose the countless perpetrators of violence
working behind closed doors inside China's "Laogai" - forced-labour camps).
