This too Shall Pass

We are raped and disgraced

We are naked and homeless

We are penniless and defenceless

We are without a defender or advocate

 

Two dust

Blistered, far away from shed

Tormented by the wind

Arrested by the elements

 

Enemies within

Lions without

Butchers in white robes

Mortuaries preferred to hospitals

 

When our eclipse shines

And our pride returns

We shall say, this too shall pas
