LOST

What shall I do?
This is my last pen,
my last empty page.

Possession of 
pen and paper
hands cut off.

No pencils, 
no notebooks.

All keyboards gone,
only voice input.
No more text.
Emojis and images only.

All books burned.
Thesaurus and dictionary
illegal.

No libraries,
no museums
no history,
only today,
no yesterday.

No more creation,
no more drawing,
no more literature.

Possession of a book,
now a capitol offense.
Public hangings
on street corners.

Morality police
everywhere
judge, jury, executioner.
