Survivor’s Remorse
He said you always got an attitude
though she explained it was passion
all she’s ever known is to fight for her
rights with the time she’s been rationed
Don’t you know society been playing her
been CIA cocaine distribution low laying
her
been acting like she don’t need no
protection
like the eloquent rage fueled by secret
keepers could soften this country’s
patriarchal erection
Apparently she can handle it
Quiet her tears
yet the deeds done to her in her
adolescence
summit her fears
