I have been screaming for years
Until heaven came down
And slapped me with blood
From their bleeding ears.
'Don't you know everyone hears'
They asked me
But I had no reply and burst into tears
I have been sitting for so long now
To keep from falling to my knees to bow
The Earth has become too hard to plough
I have moistened it with my salt-filled stories
I have given it nutrients from my struggles
I have returned to it twice-fold of what it ever gave me
I have been pierced,
Cut, pricked, stricken and beaten by mother herself
She has made me cry
She has made me scream
She has made me pour out my heart like this
I am orphaned now, searching for a new identity.
Then maybe, maybe mother would have treated me better
