Hidden

I'm not keeping anything hidden, it's just that I'm  
preserving a life I've worked hard to build. I share  
moments of my life sometimes. But if you value privacy,  
the way I do, you'll understand there's nothing more  
sacred than living your life undercover: Quietly behind the 
scenes. I've never felt the need to put myself out there, 
and I'll never shout to be heard. In effect, I'm observing  
all of humanity from a tiny corner of the world. And I'm 
tiny too in comparison. I'm no more deserving of the 
attention than the average person or a homeless person 
on the street, who hasn't a voice.  

Dogs Of War

In order to avert another crisis 
you must first prepare the battleground,
select your weapon of choice carefully,
like it were a voice; 
a marching army of words,
if you are to let slip the dogs of war. 

Speak Up

I do not care so much for war 
as I do for truth. So I say -
'Lay down your arms and to hell with what 
the rest of them think.'
Either, speak up or hold your tongue,
your choice,
the rest can eat their words.
But, for me, remaining silent 
during times of crisis
is as deadly as any disease.
