xvi.
speak thy mouth'
speak for innocent
ensure justice,
help those who are crushed
Yes, don't forget the poor
Dont ignore the hopeless
Instead of lifting hands for thyself
lift them up
why choose to be silent,
why prefer to be nescient
Those who see, those who hear
does weak cry for nothing?
does man get something from ignoring?
don't chase the wine,
nay waste strength in women
e're set forth from them,
for in slumber you're deaf
for in slumber you forget
Oppressed cry out for justice
"don't leave us dying"
for are you bitter to help?
why welcome distress?
why let enemy stress?
It isn't right, it isn't well,
Speak for what is right,
speak for what is well.
