A Poem by Créatif Word
Orange hot fiery Eyes scorching like the sun Her being is chained To the poles of society Random deceptive whips Tear across her body Drawing precious blood of humanity Enraged by years of submission Years of suppression and degradation His spirit broken into millions of pieces Scattered across the world Like sand on a riverbed He has forgotten himself Or what part was meant to be him His blood has been diluted By the cruel jealousy of an oppressor She struggles and twists her frail body To let loose the vice of society And as the thirsty earth Drinks her precious blood She gathers energy to fight on Grim smiles and foul words Pierce her delicate eardrums Horrid images blind her pure sight Fornicating, perverted men taint her body But she waits and gathers her energy He watches his children labour In dark cold pits of poor ventilation They are tossed by whips and chains And kept alive by drops of water The crumbs of yesterday try to sustain Hungry stomachs of aging men He watches in silence And saves his tears He can feel the anger grow In the pit of his stomach So he prepares He barricades his mind Against the oppressor's miseducation And equips his children with virtue and strength From the sacred books and wisdom of the elders She observed as the seed slowly grew In the parched desert under a merciless sun And through the vines of an Almighty Provider Her strength grew and filled her bosom Waiting, waiting, waiting And a gentle breeze whispered through the leaves - It is time, rise up fallen woman - Break the chains of this social incest So with a fit of rage the pillars fell And through the sooth of fever and decay She rose a dark chocolate figure Full hips and rounded buttocks Her locks lashed out at her sun So the moon came to its rescue The steam of her anger darkened the land Her eyes shut with rage and vengeance So the gentle breeze whispered again - Have mercy fallen woman - Learn and teach, educate those who oppressed you Hit your breast with your mighty fist And show the pride of an ancient nation Broad, strong shoulders The men rose from bottomless pits Years of labour threaded powerful muscles Years of introspection and study Made them wise and patient So the day came with a bright sun His oppressor tore at the air With whips and rusty chains Wait, wait, wait And the gentle breeze whispered through the hollow pits - It is time, rise up fallen men - Break the chains of this social abomination So with the strength preserved for years He carried his children and their grandfathers Through the misty social constructs that were made to bind him With his strength, he uprooted faulty foundations With his strength he unified nations And clarified blurred perceptions
