Seated at the counter’s edge
I cannot bring my greatest lev’
rage against those who would try
to take from me my heart’s desire
and throw my rights into the fire
My pain today is well known as
the world begins to grasp the
weight of what they’ve placed upon
the women, left to sink in ponds
Seated at the counter’s edge
The image asserts itself again
My pain today is well known as
the life I pictured takes the past
and asserts the values of the ass
who falls upon his religion and
strikes us with his pious hand
This is a beautiful theme to explore. I like the subtlety of it all. Good job.
