Title: Tears of the East
by Chantal from Kent | in writing, poetry
These are the tears of my mothers
And my grandmothers
And all the women before me.
These are the cries of the
Torment and the shame
Beneath the beatings
And the violations.
These are the pleas for
Mercy, for
Justice, for
Pity.
Will you be the sword
That splits the skin of my being,
Or will you be the hand
That rewrites the book of our future?
A poem for all the women in the world who are mistreated by the cultures they live in.
