No

Persistent

That’s your way

Forging against all odds

Employing every wile

To get what you want

.

No is not an answer

No, not for you

Successive no’s bring you closer

To the answer you desire

Yes

.

So for you, I have not said no

But my no is so resounding

That even you can’t ignore

My no is complete silence

Now let it go
