SHUSH!

Shush!

Shush!

Shush!

Don't say anything you'll regret.
Don't let anyone take offense.
Censor yourself, stay off the fence.

Its either one side or the other.
Will you stay quiet?
Or dare mutter?

You'll get murdered if you speak it.
Don't take that lightly cause they mean it.

Oh, they will kill you.
They'd kill me too if I were you,
But they won't cause I don't speak.

I try not to even think.
I've long since killed my urges for such things-
I want to breathe!
I want to breathe!

I've heard they'll drown you in the river.
Set that bow into its quiver,
And let it fly into your sternum like a skewer,
Shishkabobed-
Like a rotisserie.

Its so scary.
So please don't say the things you do.
Or they'll find out, and come for you.
Then I will cry...

Because you didn't have to die.
Because you decided to live your life with opened eyes.
You should've shushed!
