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!
