Dr j marion sims
The 'so-called' father of gynecology
Built of the lie of ethics
Built from harvested black bodies
No permission, just 'science'
An excuse just to abuse black women -
Treated as 'experiments'
To him we were never human beings
Just a new toy to play with
No anaesthesia, just pain
His work wasn't revolutionary - it was just inhumane
Does he really deserve the honour of being labelled as a 'father' -
When behind closed doors he abused his 'children' who gave him that name
Pushed them out of the door
Then slammed it in their face
No thank you, no gratitude, no rewards
Just a lifetime of scars and trauma
Treated like a disgrace
Treated the enslaved as if they weren't apart of the human race
They didn't just invade our lands -
They colonised our bodies
Dissected us like a scientific study
No consent, no permission
Just a scalpel to cut our skin
Not even out of curiosity
Just to beat the 'competition'
He was known as the father of gynecology
But in reality -
Many of us will see him as the father of stolen autonomy
Treating our bodies like property
Studying us as if he were learning archaeology
You can not force me to sit at the back of the bus!
I was born after the 1960's Civil Rights Movement.
My grandfather barreled through the Share Cropping Era.
I refuse the force of your Human Capitalism.
I will sit right here before these steps and rest my feet.
You can not force me to sit at the back of the bus!!
Take your handcuffs off by way of police brutality.
My great grandmother was born a free woman of color.
I refuse to sit at the back of the bus!!!
I did not ask you to run a gynecology on my bloodline.
Keep your cameras that force scandal off me.
Cause I refuse to sit at the back of the bus!
