Richard Schnap

My father once said
That if I didn’t know
What to say I should
Just say nothing

As if the world
Is really a court
And to speak is to
Admit your guilt

And even now
I can hear his ghost
As it whispers
His hard-won words

As you ask me how
I plea to the crime
Of daring to
Speak at all
