After the draconian action when our ArtSpeech show was censored in a ransacking way and later canceled, being fed lies, feeling betrayed, and outraged I wrote this poem among many others when trying to process the power play events during sleepless nights. I submitted it for the resistance-themed Mayor’s Poetry Program 2024 and the poem was one of the selected ones, which will be displayed at Boston City Hall for the next year.
