Bahrain Limbo

The Poem Suitcases gather dust in rented rooms
Children draw maps without borders
Voices on calls crack like static
Bahrain flickers on muted screens
Orders stall in distant offices
Waves outside carry no return address
Time folds into unmarked weeks
Names on manifests remain unread
Hope thins to a single thread
Yet the thread still holds
