Criminalised
Criminalised for a flag.
Criminalised for displaying its colours,
for wearing its colours,
for painting its colours
in the country where it arose from,
in the country where it belongs.

When it’s easy to forget,
My longing for you,
Only grows stronger.

For the first time I noticed how many guns there were. It seemed like everybody had one, some people had several, strapped on their belts, slung over their shoulders, a bellicose display of power.
