Izintombi Zamambo Poet Rhyme

The Unspoken Truth

Women in my family 
Born and raised in patriarchy
Sentenced to bitterness 
Speaking less to apologies. 

Women in my family 
Silenced from a tender age
Loud in ignorance 
No one is up for the change. 

Women in my family 
I wish they could see
Homophobia is a disease
They should quit judging me.
