Shh!
Don't speak!
Keep your voices down
for they might hear you talking
your heart out.
Shh!
Don't speak!
Go and hide inside your shelters.
Be helpless and scared
or at least act and be selfish.
Shh!
Don't speak!
They'll silence you forever
With the power of bullets
they'll make holes in your papers.
Shh!
Don't speak!
Now run back to your work.
Don't gather around for
there's nothing here to discuss
Shh!
Don't speak!
Don't act!
Don't believe!
Shh!
Just sleep but don't you dare dream.
