“And What Shall You Say?” by Joseph S. Cotter, Jr.

I mock no peoples,
My people are mocked.”
And, brother, what shall you say?

Brother, come!

And let us go unto our God.

And when we stand before Him

I shall say —

“Lord, I do not hate,

I am hated.

I scourge no one,

I am scourged.

I covet no lands,

My lands are coveted.

I mock no peoples,

My people are mocked.”

And, brother, what shall you say?
