No internal tyrant
can stand against
the law of Love

There are no bargains,
nothing to be bid against yourself,
nothing to be bought,
no wily devil
with whom to gamble
for your soul

You have the right
to remain silent
and let the quiet
truth about your being
testify

Love ensures your innate worth,
outweighs any evidence
the tyrant musters,
Proving
the tyrant is not you
and you are never called
to be its voice.
Your love will take the stand
and you will win.
We’ll see you claim your freedom
and rejoice.
