Midweek Review
Cracks in the Fortress
By Lynn Ockersz
Defiant hearts throng the streets,
Tugging tirelessly at their chains,
Taking on the Iron Fist face-to-face,
Which cannot afford to relent,
Since for it too much is at stake,
And the world may not call this,
Iran and China’s Bastille moment yet,
Since the fire power of the state,
Remains formidable and lethal,
But chinks emerge in the armour,
Of those holding the reins,
And this could spell epochal change.
