aftermath

All these people in their

separate little boxes.

Even now,

as we stand with one common tragedy

we remain in our little compartments.



We share a mother.

Though our fathers differ,

We sprang from the same womb.

We watched and cried

As they raped our mother.

None of our fathers

came to her aid.

And we sit in our little boxes tonight

Each of us mourning

the violation of Mother alone.

Why can't we stand?

Why can't we avenge our mother together?

Do they really matter...

our differing, useless sires?

Stand with me tonight

brothers and sisters.

Throw down these walls of separation.

Our mother has been raped.
