Imperial U

 

U

Have taken all I have

Held me against my will

punished me for even thinking of leaving

U

and then

Think it fair to and just and enough for

U

to have given me the right

to walk away from

U

U

imprisoned me

U

Raped my mothers and daughters

U

Held me hostage to acts of terror while

U

Paraded with bedlinen over your head

U

Denied me justice while

U

where taking privilege and still

U

Say that

U

Owe me nothing!

ARE

YOU

Insane?!

-Charles Grimmett (c) 2002
