Don’t be scared to speak the truth, <br />When the voiceless are not in the mirth, <br />Life is too short to incubate the eggs of lies, <br />To hatch the lying bird to fly, <br />Millions of us here, voiceless, not dumb, <br />Fearful of speaking what is right, <br />We agree with what the powerful say, <br />We always clap our hands to their mischief. <br />Don’t be scared to speak the truth, <br />When you are protected with power and wealth, <br />No one can snatch your knowledge from your vault, <br />The world has chewed all the lies, <br />What we have is not at all useless.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/protect-yourself-before-you-speak-the-truth/
