Who will throw the first stone?
Let he who has not looked lustfully at
a woman do that.
Who will throw the first stone?
Let he who has not misappropriated
public funds order that.
Who will throw the first stone?
At the woman who is haggard to the
bone.
Who will throw the first stone?
At the woman who has no house but a
hut.
Whilst no one throws any stone:
At those in big mansions who commit
more heinous crimes.
Throw the stone! And give her child
the streets to roam.
Throw the stone! And make the child
grow up with the self same shame.
Throw the stone! Leave the child
without a home.
Throw the stone! At your hearts'
hypocrisy.
Throw the stone! At your supposed
holiness.
Throw the stone! At the applause of
your sinful hearts.
Throw the stone also at the man who
shares her shame.
