(Bennet’s Farm, Jamestowne, 1629)

Look at our Country,
Divided, male VS female.

My fist hit his face, my knuckles skinned
Inner devil grinned, inner devil grinned

Because he deserved it, doesn't make it right
The remorse I feel,...

He was 6 foot 3.
I was 5 foot 5.
My only thoughts at that moment were staying alive..
Caught in the tenacles of his grip, helpless as I witnessed

When my brain was too young
I dig the soil so deep
With my bloody tongue

You forced me into it
When my limbs were too weak
I looked into the sky
And prayed it...

Thank you, God, for making me a female,
one so strong, cheerful and alive!
The weaker sex? I guess!  If being frail

A tire flat?  Out of gas?  I...

Some Muslim men believe in women's rights
