If we do not act now
we will never again be able to find freedom's favour
to fill the emptiness surrounding us
if we do not act now
we will never be able to kiss again, or make love
or do any of the things that testify to our being free
we will end up puking flattery and gossip,
trembling our days away in submission, compromise and fear
worrying about what the neighbours are doing
living like squealing mice
venture out to night's supermarket only to find food
swarming damp dark gutters
in the deep dungeons
where our soul is locked up
