Neither turn a deaf ear
to the ravings of bigots,
nor let indifference
mute your voice.
For many
have slept
with shuttered curtains,
only to be awakened
by hard men
standing at the gates.
But the wise
must, some days,
suffer the labor of fools,
and like a shepherd
with a wayward brood,
keep watch for
predatory shadows.
So we,
since blessed
with the wisdom of foresight,
must, hasten to sober,
those intoxicated
by vengeful enticements.
For,
If amidst a noble struggle,
we find ourselves
delivered into carnivorous jaws,
then, we can do no more,
than to submit
to our vanished season.
But if we
slip the noose about us,
then dare the devil,
kick the stools,
we will no doubt,
come to suffer
a suicide of fools.
