who we are

catefrances

we must eliminate the white man before we can draw a free breath on this planet*
we must eliminate ALL men before we can draw a free breath on this planet
you know who we are, dont you?
we, who brought you forth to give you your first breath, caged
we, who nurture you and suture your torn skin and heart
we, who stand by your side, more than just equals
we, who become what you want only to have you knock us down
we, who too often lose ourselves to become someone we are not
to be someone that you want
we, the ones you abuse
we, the ones you rape
we, the ones you discard when youve had enough
we, the ones you dump bleeding, burnt, dismembered on the rubbish tip
we, the ones you accuse of fault
we, the originators
we, the dispossessed
we, the stolen, the broken, the bereaved, the sold
we, the ones you love
we, the ones you at first hold so delicately
we, who you then squeeze too hard
we, the targets of your hatred
we, your damned dirty whores
we, the servant to your master
we, the compassionate to your aggressor
we, the guardians of your secrets
we, so complicit in your lies
you know who we are, dont you?
we are your mothers
we are your sisters
we are your daughters
we are your lovers
we are
we are
we are not men
