For R.W.

When you say
acey-ell-ewe
you're not talking about them
you're talking about me

When you say
lihbuhral
you're not talking about them
you're talking about me

When you say
fuhking-peese-nik
you're not talking about them
you're talking about me

And if you can not see
I am them
and they are me
perhaps best we let each other be.

Save that it is us
not you
who
who
who
fight for your right to be so let
it is us
not you
who will stand not just for our own
freedom
to speak
to think
to question
but yours too.

So you see
I don't have the luxury
of simply letting you be
I'm too caught up
in serving your right
to be so let.
