Speak truth
Benjamin Morrow 1986 (Cheshire)
Be not reticent of speech,
Or let your thoughts meander,
Dissuade indifferent fester,
A paragon of cander,
Let out your powered truth,
Be brevity averse,
And trenchant without cause,
Not unrelenting turse,
Fear only for neglect,
If prose remain unspoken,
So vital this emotion,
Unless your mind be broken,
Dispare at the generic,
And authentically proceed,
Go forth and be outspoken,
Declaim whilst taking heed.
