Xi: How We Feel
Dearest Vicar –
Did the vergers say it?
Did the ears hear it told:
How we feel – lads & lasses?
Not like stones as you thot
Not like wood as you felt
Not even like your vagabond vergers!
Are we men & manlets;
Were we also born to grow into men?
Were you also born of gametes?
Did you ever see a little soul born?
Did your gametes ever carve a soul?
Darest Vicar –
We feel – in case your ears heard not!
Not like slaves as you thot
Not like mugs as you felt
Not even like your vagabond vergers!
Darest Vicar –
We feel human
We feel like the liberty of birds to fly!
We merit treatment above the slaves;
Purge the headiness & arrogance of the play!
