Tall Tales Tell a Woman
FROM THE BIRTH
OR SHALL I SAY THE MOTHER EARTH
WE HAVE BEEN HOG TIED
SUBMITTED TO GENOCIDE
PROMISES MADE
TRUST BEING BROKEN
EXCUSE ME FOR A SECOND
GOTTA GET THE NOOSE OF MY NECK
I SAY IM CHOKIN
CASTRATED
BUT WE MADE IT
OUR WOMEN RAPE AND ABUSED
MY FAMILY IS BEING TORN
LIVIN IN FEAR
WITH DEATH BEHIND DOORS
BUT ALWAYS NEAR
THESE ARE TALL TALES TELL A MAN
CRIES RING OUT
AS MY FATHER SHOUT
PA! I YELL
AS HE FELL
FIRE ON WALLS
SECRET HIDE-A-WAYS
THROUGH LONG DIRT HALLS
TALL TALES TELL A MAN
TWO THOUSAND TWELVE
TELL FATE.
