Smeared makeup... Neck burning with hand prints...Bleeding anus......
And feet swollen from a barefoot 3 mile walk in 35 degree night weather to saftey...
How will she concentrate on that term paper thats due Monday?

Her cotton clothes ripped and torn with frayed stiching...
The same cotton you said you'd "thank her grandfather for picking"
Once glowing eyes, now dark and almost dead,
As your screams of nigger echo inside her head,
over her daughters question of why are you so late tonight mommy?

You'll soon forget all about her..But..She WILL remember you
Each night she awakes with the urge to urinate...
but is too afraid to enter the bath room for fear of flashbacks
Each night she awakes from nightmares of the acts you commited

She will remember the blood, the pain,
The horror, the shame,
And most of all your smiling leering faces
And she shall never forgive you.
She'll know that because or her profession
you refuse to see her as a victim, or a survivor
but instead only as a nigger, a whore, and a liar

She could have put up a harder fight if she wanted right?
Certainly she could handle 3 puny lacrosse players
But it matters not, because she deserved what she got
In fact she WANTED it more than anything else right?

Needed to please the Devils and subject herself to their abuse
To be reminded of her place in society & her only useful purpose in life
And you needed to exert and confirm your own power and superiority
Needed to blow off a lil steam, and maybe a few body fluids in the process
Using and abusing her as your own personal slave...

But you have not and will not break her
Yes the ebony flower has been uprooted,
Her vibrant colors bleeding into the soil.
Yet she still will find a way to water her own 2 seeds
With nurturing and care so that she might help them become aware,
And in the process reasure herself that like their mother
They're STILL special, & one of a kind, and will survive

She can go on.....no she MUST go on...
She has bills to pay...
She has children to raise...
she has classes & courses to finish...
she has more respectable carers to pursue....
But she will NEVER forget! And neither should WE.
But reguardless... you still have your privilege, your race,
your feelings of superiority, your bright future, and your wonderful life ahead of you.
So it really should be of no surprise that you could care less about her
her feelings... her children... her people...
Because the Devil may have the Blues...But sympathy he does not..
