(HONG KONG) - We are pleased to carry this poem by William Gomes, about the reality of this world that so many face: state terrorism, government killings, fascist policies that laugh outwardly at international law and human rights.

Problems are out of control, religious oppression is causing Genocide; war crimes are unchecked and slipping past international law without punishment, and police injustice worldwide is worse than it has ever been. It is all a product of poverty and imbalance.

“

I am ANTI STATE! Yes, I am! I am against the state, which runs on the basis of injustice I am against the state which comes out of killings I am against its every system I am against its governments I am against its Presidents, Prime Ministers I am against its criminal hierarchy I am against all those leaders of criminals in the parliament Yes, they are criminals! They are the traders of injustice, They are the killers of justice They are root and reasons of injustices They are the creator of poverty They create poverty They are traders of poverty Yes! When people are poor, they are powerful Yes, they are powerful and I am poor! Yes, I am people! They are running the corporate state of injustice They are traders of hatred, They sell hatred They sell riots! They do everything for power! They are traders of religions They sell the ALLAH, RAM, BUDDHA, JESUS! They have declared war on people They have declared war on peace I declared war on these criminals, I declared war on their System I declare that I am anti state For sure, I am for the people! I am people! I will burn their RED and GREEN flag, I will burn the constitution of injustice I will burn down the parliament I will burn down all into ashes I dream no red and green flag No traders of injustice But a place full of peaceful of people! No mater, if need to change the name of Bangladesh I declare, I will change it! I will change for peace, for people I declare, I am anti state!
