The poems in this collection are as diverse as the men who wrote them. Some are filled with anger and despair, while others are surprisingly hopeful and even joyful. All of them, however, are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of art to transcend even the darkest of circumstances.
The detainees at Guantanamo Bay have been subjected to years of abuse and torture. They have been held in solitary confinement, denied access to lawyers, and subjected to extreme temperatures and sleep deprivation. Despite these horrific conditions, they have found a way to express themselves through poetry. Their words are a powerful indictment of the American government's treatment of prisoners and a reminder of the importance of human rights.
Poems From Guantanamo is a must-read for anyone who cares about human rights, freedom of speech, and the power of art. These poems are a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human race and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope can prevail.
Excerpt from "The Cage" by Mohamedou Ould Slahi
I am a bird in a cage My wings are clipped My spirit is broken But I will not give up I will keep singing Until the day I am free
Excerpt from "Hope" by Shaker Aamer
In the darkness, I find hope In the pain, I find strength In the despair, I find joy For I know that one day I will be free
Excerpt from "Freedom" by Omar Khadr
I have been held captive for years But my spirit is still free I will not let them break me I will keep fighting for my freedom Until the day I am finally home
