Who

Let us make man ..so He said but when need arose who was made? ...that’s were it all began who the made now the maid lurk in the cold ...once an equal who, bearer of child seasons of travail ...times and times wombs of nation who the single ...a barb for aging who the teen trapped and raped who father’s pride broken in secret abused of a blood who the orphan too bad i met life who the helpless ...if only i was a man who the widow in sneer of foes Who the mother with breast so liberal who the leader tough triumphing who the friend ...forever for keeps! who the sister ...thicker than blood who the grandma called the witch who the wife faithful to the unfaithful ...a pain beyond words who the childless in years of tears who the victim no soul can bear who disabled why me? who dead screams of dearth who the ugly needy and wanting who,..who else? once the need... now the needy!
