Citizen |
| Citizen! |
| Whence came your voice |
| Your right to speak? |
| Is there a purpose to your tongue |
| And gnawing teeth? |
| I ask thee; |
| How deep and hollow |
| Is your mouth? |
| What lie is too decayed |
| For you to stomach? |
| With humility and obedience |
| You pride yourself |
| Evasive and lukewarm |
| Until the end |
| Citizen! |
| The interdependent morality |
| Of your collective |
| Made too soft the bed |
| In which you lie |
| I ask thee; |
| Do you acknowledge |
| Your own fragility |
| When you sleep |
| To server the «Great Good»? |
| United in fear |
| Lives «hard to bear» |
| Illusions that «we are all peers» |
| I preach not for understanding |
| In you I have no faith |
| I spit at you my truth; |
| That you are the burden of my heritage |
| For herein lies the irony |
| There is neither room |
| Nor air |
| For the wakeful fire |
| In your precious world |
| Of equality |
| Citizen! |
| You are truly faithful |
| To tradition |
| When you crucify |
| Those whose voices burn |
| Alas |
| A hundred years from now |
| You recite and corrupt |
| Their epitaphs |
| To crucify another |
