Kate Shemirani’s speech at Westminster Magistrate’s Court fused science, law, humanity and the spirit, in one call to this world’s people that shone with the coherence of impassioned urgency.

It exposed evil with the power of good’s truth-borne emotional literacy, and put freedom — and triumphant salvation — in our hands.

!!! OUR FACES CONNECT !!!

I call you when I need you;
when my heart’s on fire.
You come to me, run through me,
wild and wired!

You squeeze me free —
which is everything we need!

Give me lives, borne through contact,
to beam real world from dreams!
Feel the language of love,
so we are what it means:

it’s never wrong —
hug my soul, and make it strong!

Our faces connect;
shining the love we reflect
and relay, as a web of one,
of everyone we’ve ever met!

I’m struck from your heart:
wrought by every word you say!
Be distanced by dark?
Babe, I would rather be dead.
In your breath, flows shared life
of the night and the day!
In your smile dimples feeling,
touching heart, unafraid!

Just as long as I’m here in your arms,
I could be in no better place.

Our faces connect;
shining the love we reflect
and relay, as a web of one,
of everyone we’ve ever met!

I’m struck from your heart:
wrought by every word you say!
Be distanced by dark?
Babe, I would rather be dead.

Each time we touch, your pulse caresses my soul,
and draws me tall with strength of deep belief in my rôle
to share self-love with others, through the freedom of light!
Oh, babe, we are right!

Our faces connect;
shining the love we reflect,
and relay, as a web of one,
of everyone we’ve ever met!

I’m struck from your heart:
wrought by every word you say!
Be distanced by dark?
Babe, I would rather be dead!

We connect.

TINA TURNER ORIGINAL

Simply the Best

I call you when I need you
When my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired

You come to me,
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak the language of love
Like you know what it means

It can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start
Of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost
I get washed away

Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone,
Oh, baby, don’t let go!

You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

You’re the best
