but the condemned spoke with many voices.

And the prisons were full of many voices,
but never the dialect of the judges.

And the judges said:
“No-one is above the Law.”

—Tom Leonard, “And the judges said”

I’m a republican, it’s not real or a thing unless it happens to me. Otherwise, I don’t care.
