Confessing Tongues.
Should I speak out against indignities
perpetrated on me in my childhood?
Nah, because folk might think I'm but a tease
bringing salaciousness to adulthood.
The power of one's peers, to me it seems,
stills the righteousness of confessing tongues
but " confess " is not the right word, in dreams
I'm there, as they hang, you, perverted ones...
Will I find, on dread retribution day,
those selfsame jobsworth petty officials?
whom, themselves, abuse in their silent way,
over these, I scribble, my initials.
So, abide still, you strange creature, you thing,
As I do mortal ill, we'll both sing, hymns?
