Thou Shalt Not Talk
Thou Shalt Not Talk
By Elton Camp
Religion, for purity, is a powerful force
On its adherents, rules it should enforce
Tiny Patna village in India has shown the way
Cell phone use by women is banned, they say
For any violators, a fine they will levy
If a single woman, it’s five time as heavy
This is what the village elders decreed
The very thing weak-willed females need
The reason village elders were choking
Some of their females were eloping
The action wasn’t take with undue haste
They saw the social atmosphere debased
An enlightened idea like this is just great
One that other countries should emulate
Democrats and Republicans should agree
So this law, in the USA, also comes to be
