If an audience could be arranged and also my safe return this is what Id tell the Sultan This is what hed learn: O Sultan, my master, if my clothes are ripped and torn it is because your dogs with claws are allowed to tear me. And your informers every day are those who dog my heels, each step unavoidable as fate. They interrogate my wife, at length, and list each friends name. Your soldiers kick and beat me, force me to eat from my shoes, because I dare approach these walls for an audience with you. You have lost two wars and no one tells you why. Half your people have no tongues. What good their unheard sigh? The other half, within these walls, run like rabbits and ants, silently inside. If I were given safety from the Sultans armed guards I would say, O Sultan, the reason youve lost wars twice was because youve been walled in from mankinds cause and voice.
