Ex Party Men

You don't listen to me anymoreI know why you don't—
Certainly you must have been
Beckoned by money.
What else can it be?
Ah, how would I know that
Me, I'm just all innocence
Why, I'm an open book!
I'm the only one strong
Because I'm true
You don't know this simple truth
Because you are what you are!
What you say today
What you write today
Nowhere will I repeat it
Not even the slightest bit—
Because you can't be trusted
Because you and that lot
Have no doubt secretly found
Heaps and heaps of gold. Rashid Hasan is a schoolteacher.
