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
