THE FORMER PRISONER NOW STAND ON GUARD AT THE GATES OF PRISON CAMPS

As the Estonian politicians believe
that all the occupied and oppressed
nations except Ukraine can be
sacrificed, their torment supported
by Estonia, I have to wonder why,
so many years ago, I was so keen
to see Estonia free, when Estonia
is so adamant that the chains
binding others must not be broken,
because the slave-masters will
help guard the liberty of the Baltics
- or so they think, the fools, who
have become what they once chided.

Oh, they have their excuses,
withered claims repeated across
the gore-stained years of man,
but beyond all the tired claims,
they believe others' blood
will pay for their own
sacred liberty.
