Misty blue haze, rise above the oceans, green waves
Loves seeds, entangle seaweed, washed ashore
Salty waters flow, to carve its sandy caves
...
Soft ivory flows the ground
Leaves of white and green
Beneath the grand old oak
...
She stands waiting, cold and lone
Face painted, body half covered
Aged beyond, her tender years
...
Crystallized tears
Fallen through the years
Voices shout my fears
...
I was told to stand and hold
Two buckets of water by my side,
Arms raised, muscles ache,
When will they break?
...
Mother, you were supposed to protect
Instead you closed your eyes
Did you think if you could not see
...
Mother, did you mean it
when you called me 'brainless'?
Did you really think this to be so?
I wonder if you knew
...
Dear mother,
Now as an adult, I'll ask you this
Do you remember the torturous
...
Tell me mother, I need to know
did you think about the pain
before you chose to inflict it?
...
Who are we?
We are flesh, blood and bones
the skeleton that makes our shape
...
