Preach to broken hearts and you will never lack an audience


May we all bow our heads in shame


Our Mother
Our robbed and raped
Stolen and moulded
Captured and raptured
Ignored and silenced
Used and bruised
Abused as a tool
An overworked fool
A pillaged mute


Our Mother
Our complying Mother


Underappreciated
Undervalued
Under a man you
Call unto at nights
When he leaves to take flight
Remain with your plight
Remain but don't fight
Beg and honour
Praise and revere
The murder of you


Our Mother
Our hiding Mother


Hiding the secrets of liars
Feeding though barren
Creator yet foreign
Discarded but dungeoned land and oh so honoured


Our Mother
Our trying mother


Faux celebration
Eat at it
It's all you'll meet
Reject your daughters
Reject your yoni as they taught you

Reject and reject
The prejudice must be internalised
Never penalised

Receive one of good size


But never too many
Pretend you enjoy it
Conquered and butchered
Celebrate torture
Carry your crucifix
Give into the fix
The fix you mix
Mix of meaningless moans
But verified vessels
Walls that wrestle
Pretending to nestle


Our Mother
Our lying Mother!


Who lies in a cell
Here to save them from hell
Them who destroy
Save and sing while dancing in self-destruction


Would you ever go back
And give birth to yourself?


Our Mother
Our dying Mother.


May the Tears be with you
