Someone wants me dead
  from the neck and upwards.
  Rope weaved by these hands,
  box of my toils.
  
  Coerced - dazed by a suckerpunch.
  Reeling - believing that these are the dues.
  
  Pitch back - throwback to a chastised youth.
  No quarter - stifled under a stich-up hood.
  
  To be made an example
  will stauch my deviant flow.
  
  Held a lever that only I can pull.
  Need a trauma to silence my loose tongue.
  
  Bigots want my head
  on a plate to sound-out.
  
  Probing - exposing delicate core to full view.
  Damning - programming etiquette to suit.
  
  To dissect and reset
  will staunch my deviant flow.
  
  Held a lever that only I can pull.
  Need a trauma to silence my loose tongue.
  Group constrictor.
  Throttling a bond.
  Call a cull to silence our loose tongues.
