Sirens
Astrid Oto

si si si
sirens scream through the night
red white and blue flashing lights
serve to intimidate
those who they claim to protect
under pressure what will you say
don't volunteer information
or hesitate to lie
the best self defense may be
your refusal to concede
the balance of power
Continues after the ad
si si si
silence is powerful
it may be your greatest strength
it retains innocence
it gives you time to deliberate
violence is a tool
it can and will be used against you
manipulation and coercion too
don't be fooled
the pretense to tolerance and trust
is just a different kind of gun
