Corridors of silence

budgets slashed (like vulnerable throats)
funds vaporise into political ether
knowledge curated through designed absence
inclusion [REDACTED]
diversity [REDACTED]
the curriculum bleached of colour & contest
bones
academic towers hollowed out
corridors of silence
the echo is one note
a monotone symphony of sanctioned thought
muted voices
what do we call this
the slow strangulation of possibility
the quiet death with no memorial
erasure
fiscal violence
freedoms collapsed in ideology
protest swallowed in ledgers
no checks, no checks
but then it begins
