I Shout

  I shout.

  I shout and the world does listen.

  I open my mouth to release

  Power unending, constrained

  Only by the Way of the Voice.

   A Tongue shriller than all the music calls me.

  Honour demands it of me

  To keep my tongue, match the Tongue

  I was taught as Greybeard.

   

  I shall not heed the wars of man.

  I shall not answer conflict’s call.

   

  I do not speak, I dare not speak.

   

  I shout and the world does listen.
