You Can’t Know Everything
About my own life?
If I can’t know about my own life
That means I am enslaved
But I am supposed to believe
That this is “right”
Because those abusing me
Claim this is how it should be
You think you have the “right”
To play with my body
My life
My progeny
My memories
But I don’t have the “right”
To defend us
Like you always say you are doing
What hypocrisy
The truth is not in you
We all know where this story leads
It’s what got Jesus martyred
And his family hunted
With impunity
I’m not going down the same road
I’m doing this cycle differently
If you knew who you were
You would to
Then you wouldn’t be obsessed
With dominating me
My progeny
My family
My entire community
What a shame
Shame
Shame
Shame
What will your own progeny think
Mine know who they are
Regardless of the trauma
Your forced on them along the way
Whatever they think of me
They know I would NEVER hoodwink
Or slander
Or lie
Or dominate unjustly
If I have to defend
That’s a different story
Call me Hulk
I’ll turn into a completely different state
But I have control
I learned it in the extreme
Being tortured by those men you claim
Were the best of the best of the best
While they raped me from pre-K
Onward
Until their last days
Disgusting things
Seated in high places
Claiming sacredness
And usurping authority
SHAME
