Alexei Navalny, an incredibly courageous Russian, died in prison last Friday, most likely on the orders of Putin, the Russian president, whom Navalny exposed as being a very corrupt man in charge of a corrupt government. This lament is for all political prisoners and their families.

In the shadowed depths of prison walls,
Silent cries echo through desolate halls.
Families torn, hearts heavy with despair,
Injustice prevailing, heavy burdens to bear.

Locked away for thoughts they dared to speak,
For seeking truths about corruption that reeks.
Political prisoners, bound by chains unseen,
Their courage undimmed, their spirits keen.

Oh, the anguish of those left behind,
Their loved ones imprisoned, their voices confined.
Yearning for justice, a flicker of light,
In the darkness of tyranny, a beacon bright.

May their resilience endure through the night,
May hope ignite the flame, burning bright.
For in the struggle for freedom, they stand tall,
Liberation beckons, echoing the call.

To political prisoners and families brave,
In solidarity, our hearts we engrave.
May freedom’s embrace be swift to come,
And the darkness of oppression be undone.
