we speak in riddles <br />what option do we have after all? <br />if we speak in plain language, <br />this language of the law and the books, <br />what do we get? oh, she is frank to say, <br />you shall be next. <br />so, you speak so that you <br />cannot be understood and <br />people become blind and deaf <br />and mute <br />and there will be a big feast in the <br />city, <br />power will say, ' come, celebrate with us! <br />we know what is right! ' <br />and never mind if it is unjust.<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-mind-if-it-is-unjust/
