Makes cowards of men.  The human race
Has climbed on protest.  Had no voice been raised

 The inquisition yet would serve the law,
And guillotines decide our least dispute. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote.
To sin by silence when we should protest,
Makes cowards of men.  The human race
Has climbed on protest.  Had no voice been raised
Against injustice, ignorance, and lust,
 The inquisition yet would serve the law,
And guillotines decide our least dispute.

Makes cowards out of men.  The human race
Has climbed on protest.  Had no voice been raised
Against injustice, ignorance, and lust,
 The inquisition yet would serve the law,
And guillotines decide our least dispute.
