That we would bleed

That we would bleed

We were set upon the land

By an angered church

And beset on every side

Stood our new enemy

Whom we'd never known

And God smiled at us from a distance

Stuck behind the rhetoric

Of a gluttonous church

And we fought valiantly

As we watched our men and women dragged away

And our children raped

And our elderly slaughtered

We held up our arms to the sky

And we bled

But the rhetoric didn't save us

And we starved

And the scripture didn't feed us

And the church looked upon us

From a distance with full coffers

And we were handed to the enemy

That we would bleed

And meet a surprised God

Who hadn't expected

To see us this soon

Colonized

[this is still largely a poem under construction - please watch this place for further developments]

I

I feel inconsequential sometimes

Because of what you've done

You stole from me

You raped me

Over and over again

You destroyed my home and family

You tore apart my life

So I was quiet

II

You came to my bed at night

You put your hand on my ass

You put your cock in my mouth

And when I cried you hit me

And when I was quiet you hated me

When nobody was looking

When nobody cared

So I was quiet

III

You stole our home

You kept us alone at night

So that nobody would see

You raped my mother

You raped my grandmother

You pretty much raped anything if

You could get your pants off in time

So I was quiet

IV
And your hatred for black people
Was shouted through every window
Proclaimed to the world
Except when you slept with other men's wives
Who weren't white
But when my friends were black
You threatened to kick me out

You threatened my life

So I was quiet

V

You tore at the land with your machines

You took the metals and gold

You made yourself rich

And left me and the ones I love

You left us to die

And now you hate us

Because we weathered the storm

So I was quiet

VI

And you ran to the church

Where else can paedophiles hide

And you became a Mighty Man

How else do boys become men

But to rape their children

To slap their wives around

To threaten sixty five year old women

So I was quiet

VII
But I'm not that twelve year old anymore
I won't be quiet anymore
I won't simply stand idly by
And let you rape and steal
You're just another colonizer
To be kicked out
And liberation comes quickly
I will not be quiet anymore

Everybody hates Mary Dysentery (Also called: A Note on Misogyny)

Mary, Mary Dysentery

Hated by all as a matter of fact

The townsfolk may have spared her

Had she shown a shred of tact

The baker down the street

Thought that Mary was a bitch

He said that he should much preferred

That she'd starved in a ditch

The cobbler said that he as well

Would vote to have her slaughtered

To have her whipped, to have her chained

To have her drawn and quartered

The butcher had it in for her

As did the tanner in the fen

The lawyer and the carpenter

And the smith down in the glen

The parish vicar shook his fist

With odious detestation

He thought that Mary was a cow

Who deserved much castigation

And everybody hated her

For everything she said

To each and every wife

Who's man came to her bed

The major too had bedded her

And rang his copper bell

He called all the men together

And they drowned her in a well

Mary, Mary Dysentery

Where is your garden fair

Around a well under Ipswich's bell

At the foot of the Chapel's stair

Church and Science don't mix... (or alternatively Michele Bachmann is an Idiot)

I've thought about this for a while now

I don't know the truth

But I like the idea of evolution though

You say I'm mistaken

You like creationism

But I just feel that evolution is more likely

I've seen the 'science' on your side

Mostly just pseudo-science

And pseudo-skepticism

(Seriously; look up pseudo-skepticism)

And I'm not really convinced

But that's not the problem I have

You see: What you've done to me

And to others like me

Kinda... discredits everything you've said

And everything you stand for

You can't preach "God"

With blood on your hands

You can't say that your way is right

And do wrong

And expect everyone to turn a blind eye

So if you take issue

Tell it to my scars

And excuse me as I walk away

Child abuse

Rape

Abandonment

Narcissistic Injury

Torture

This is what your 'science' means to me
