Slap me hardA
Quick without a winceB
Twist my armsC
Make me wailD
Snap my fingersE
Forbid me goodF
Frail meG
Stone me for adulteryG
Place embargoes onH
My travelsI
Christen me again and againJ
Sour deadly christeningsI
Prod meG
Assail my emotionsI
Rein my thoughts to close kilometresI
But do notK
Even in tranceI
Bid me quietL
-
'Tis what the creator endearsI
When heG
Cloths for bodies madeM
Rings for fingers and ears smiteM
Scarves for heads transformN
Worlds for humans createM
Lids for eyes commandM
ButM
Nought for mouth did he makeO
not even a frail old protocolP

Now tell meG

Cite from your big library and college yearsI
Why my silence be all youR

And many others assets you'll force I declareW

You will talkZ
I will talkZ
I will talkZ
You will talkZ
Then after voices have risen so highY
You will be quietM
To know what my name would beG
I will be quietM
To know what your name would beG
And if anyone be wrong among usI
We'll settle it in wordsI
And a little shaking of handsI
Not in silenceI
Cos your silence or mineA2
Shuld never be heardM

Tell your councilB2
Dear ClerkC2
I will not go to courtM
I will be hereS
From my mouth shall proceed my doomU

or deathD2

I will not go to courtM
Take all I haveE2
Mask my mouthF2
For your pandemic's curbG2
But neverQ
Never ever bid me quietM
Dear Minister of the RepublicH2
