Time And Place

What did he do

that little boy

when he Resisted

the Occupation,

for that was the charge

against him.

If he killed,

it seems

it was a soldier

out of place

illegally placed

in that place.

But sometimes

in some places

illegal becomes legal

and resistance is criminal.

Sometimes

in those places,

to exist

is crime enough

for some, 

those

whose childhood is stolen

whose youth is stolen

whose land is stolen

like that boy

in that place

where power

not law

defines legality.
