You come
While you rape
Our home
Destroy all the beauty
We have grown
In our town,
This place we call home.
You treat it like a whore...
A sorry slut you fuck, beat
And leave bleeding on the corner
Begging for mercy.
She, having done nothing to you but
Try to give you pleasure.

Though having been battered and scared
She still reaches out-
Trying to please others,
So that when they leave
She may go home to
Nurture her children

Yes-the lady you treat as a whore
Is a mother-the mother of all,
For this whore as you see
Gave birth to all creation
And is home for many,
Providing nourishment for thousands.

You rape her over and over-
Even though she tried to open her arms lovingly.
She now cries in despair
That some of her own children
Would do this to their own mother.
We can not protect her from your
Poking and prodding forever...
We must stand by watching
Smiling, telling you to have a good day
While right in front of our eyes
You take all of what our mother
Has to offer.

Then you jeer at us,
And get angry when we are not
Proper and polite when dealing with you,
My question and reply is this-
Would you be happy and cheerful
If we came to Rape your Mother?
You can answer yes, I will smack you
For it because I know it's a lie!!!
So, no-you would cry, scream
And fight if I were to even hint
At raping your Mother!!
Yet you want us to simply
Sit back and treat you like Gods
For it!
HYPOCRITES.

Damn you for doing this to our
Home-yes, behind these stores
And parking lots
Dwell homes-just like in your
Cities-we have schools and parks
Libraries and grocery stores
But you do not see these-
You only see a playground
for your insanity.
A place to do as you please
With no worries as to the aftermath.
True, with out you most of us would not
Have jobs, but as it is we are
Under paid and under appreciated
For our duties...
Cleaning up your trash, trying
To make our home beautiful again
For a mear 5.15 and hour
Amazing how much destruction
You all can do...

We are up all night
Cleaning, crying for what you have done
to OUR Mother.
We bathe her once more and
give her another pep talk,
Hoping tomorrow there will be
Some who do not treat her as
And easy way to forget
Where they came from-
Where WE came from-
And where WE will all
Return to in the End.
