I ask you friends,
Am I to touch the feet of the tyrants?
Or demolish their white towers?
Am I to kill the killers?
Or forgive them in tears?
Am I to swallow the sweet pills?
Or resist the orators?
Am I to raise my voice against the ills?
Or be a mute spectator and carry the wounds?
Am I to support the traitors of my people?
Or smash their wings to the ground?
Am I to witness to a hauling of a girl by wolves?
Or cut their secret things and fling them to dust?
A highly impassioned and evocative remonstrance against the vicissitudes of the world.
