Words from a Teacher's Past, 90



“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #18: (e) assail, (f) defiance

If I show some defiance, then
I know that you will then assail
My character—my name. And when
(Or if) I live to tell my tale,

I’ll speak about your violence—
Your cruel inhumanity,
And people will believe me since
You haven’t victimized just me.
