thank you very much, Fliss, for coming back here again and again!
and I love very much your "babbling" about Bleed! It was really very close to the poem... and these words

are exactly what I've felt in a moment of writting this piece!
thank you a lot!
Then...
I'd like to put here my entry for Forbidden thread! and I have to say it means to me a lot, because I had such unfortunate to have native language and first language as two different!
Forbidden Language
Don’t you see a sellotape on my mouth?
I was born like that without scream!
Almost like in 1867*
We have no word to talk, to sing!
This centuries with gag of interdiction
Broke our soul and made it withered, dumb…
And even now when we become free nation
We’ve lost the art of our song!
We keep on silence in forbidden language
And our children won’t hear a native lullaby…
When one of us deny what we have came from
One angel of our freedom dies!
Don’t you see a sellotape on my mouth?
I was born like that … it hurts
‘cause my words were stolen from my heart
Long before my Grand-grandpa was born!
But in the ashes of the history
I see the Phoenix comes to live –
Most perfect song you’ll ever hear
Will strive our apathy – I BELIEVE!!!!!
* There was Valuev’s decree was issued in 1867. It had added some points to Emskiy decree of 1863. By this decrees Ukrainian language was forbidden for publishing books, for making all types of performances and for using it in public in Russian empire. Ukrainian was proclaimed as a dialect. All over the history Ukrainian language was forbidden in different territories of Ukraine for about three hundred years. This caused to assimilation of nation in some regions and for changing of language in some regions to Russian in another to awful mix which we call mangcorn. And now we have problems of reanimation native language in some refions, this leads to split in society on the ground of language problem.
