I profess to be innocent of the sins of my forbears,
but am I, really?
I disclaim my complicity in the cause of your plight,
but can I, really?
I say I hear your angry rhetoric,
but do I, really?
I wonder why you do not trust my worthy declarations,
but should I, really?
I claim to identify with you in your struggle,
but have I, really?
I know there is something I can and must do,
but will I ---really?
(from If I Do Say So Myself)
