Beneath the veil of a stifled sun, Where dreams dissolve before they’ve begun, A silent elegy hums in the air, For futures lost, for souls laid bare.
The poet’s quill lies broken in hand, Words censored by laws they can’t withstand. The painter’s brush, a muted hue, Colors denied their chance to bloom true.
Prayers are whispered, not to be heard, Chained by the weight of an unspoken word. Faith and power weave their decree, Binding ambition, stealing the free.
What of the dancer, her steps unseen, Bound by a world that calls them obscene? Or the scientist, whose curious fire, Is doused by edicts that choke desire?
A child gazes at stars through a screen, Wishing to touch what might have been. But borders drawn by men long gone, Turn every dawn into a con.
This elegy echoes in every breath, A mourning song for dreams’ quiet death. Yet still, in shadows, a spark remains, A hope to break these iron chains.
For dreams suppressed can never die, They linger, like whispers in the sky. And though this elegy mourns the lost, It vows to defy what freedom cost.
