I feel trapped, cut off,

In the dark,

No light,

The VPN, my torch,

My sanity,

My saviour,

My umbilical cord has been severed,

My simple pleasures,

My music,

My TV,

My news,

All Smoke and mirrors,

My freedom of choice,

Behind the wall I have no voice,

Banned by Pooh,

They prefer not to see,

Beaten to submission,

Ghostly faces glued to screens,

Watching Propaganda so it seems,

A few years ago it was Tom and Jerry,

But now it’s what you don’t see that I find scary.
