Closed Country
This story is dedicated to my friend Yohannes, an asylum seeker who was deported to Ethiopia on Tuesday 16th January 2007, while this story was being written. Details of this story are based on real accounts of Yohannes and others like him. It is called closed country and the country it refers to is never mentioned, in the style of many missionary news reports which never mention the name of the country or the name of the Christians as this would endanger them.

THE TREE OF SHAME
The Tree of Shame Outside the forest stands a lonely tree And on it, dying, a man who should be me. Forget the royal, fabled mighty oak of legend Cast aside the mighty Cedars of Lebanon. This tree is not for felling, nor will it ever die.
