Claws Out, Teeth Bared

An odious trade
Has come to my attention
Her line is direct

Now it seems to me
Withholding one's words is like
Cutting out their tongue.

Barring livelihood
Is like cutting off one's hands

It seems only right
To sell back one's property
If coin is proffered

So shame to you both
Certainly the type of thing
That will ruin your sleep

If perchance to dream
Contending with such actions
You might wish for death

Need it be spoken?
Or must a gesture be made?
You're the exception

And perhaps your heir
Will have the sense to make right
Well, one of them will...
