I love the point your poem makes, that this voice of dissent, of individuality and freedom, lives as well in the persecutor's own throat, and by denying its validity, by destroying it, he himself is poisoned by it.Or so I read. And what a blood-curdling clip--scarier than any manufactured monster is Man himself. Thanks for this burning spear of a poem, Susie.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
